Multiplatform solution

After digging, eventually found a beautiful solution, works in all browsers.

Put these functions in the page title:

 <Script> function add2Fav (x) {if (document.all &&! Window.opera) {if (typeof window.external == "object") {window.external.AddFavorite (document.location, document.title);  Return true;  } Else return false;  } Else {x.href = document.location;  X.title = document.title;  X.rel = "sidebar";  Return true;  }} </ Script> 

The link to add a page to the building page may look something like this:

  <a href="#" onClick="add2Fav(this)"> Add to favorites </a>

JavaScript "Add to favorites" link for all browsers

The script is found in google and updated to reflect the current realities, namely, the presence of the 8th version of IE and the Chrome browser (which in the original script was defined as Netscape and no actions were taken as a result). If the browser does not support adding to the bookmarks via the script, the user will be shown a message about how to add to the bookmarks by pressing Ctrl-D.

Put these functions in the page title:

  <Script>
  Function getBrowserInfo () {
  Var t, v = undefined;
  If (window.chrome) t = 'Chrome';
  Else if (window.opera) t = 'Opera';
  Else if (document.all) {
  T = 'IE';
  Var nv = navigator.appVersion;
  Var s = nv.indexOf ('MSIE') + 5;
  V = nv.substring (s, s + 1);
  }
  Else if (navigator.appName) t = 'Netscape';
  Return {type: t, version: v};
  }
  Function bookmark (a) {
  Var url = window.document.location;
  Var title = window.document.title;
  Var b = getBrowserInfo ();
  If (b.type == 'IE' && 8> = b.version && b.version> = 4) window.external.AddFavorite (url, title);
  Else if (b.type == 'Opera') {
  A.href = url;
  A.rel = "sidebar";
  A.title = url + ',' + title;
  Return true;
  }
  Else if (b.type == "Netscape") window.sidebar.addPanel (title, url, "");
  Else alert ("Press CTRL-D to add the page to the bookmarks.");
  Return false;
  }
  </ Script>
 

The link to add a page to the building page may look something like this:

  <A href = "javascript: void (0);"  Onclick = "return bookmark (this);"> Add to favorites </a>
