This code works in both IE and Firefox *** EDITED*** Thanks, Shane. The script did not come through properly, but we recognized it as a Dynamic Drive bookmark script. You can find the original script here if anyone wants to experiment with it: Bookmark Site Script

Hi
Has anyone come up with a code to stop Firefox bookmarked pages opening up in the side bar.

IE works well but it’s a pain with Firefox.

We have a large userbase of firefox users. Does anyone know of a graceful way to do this for firefox?

Kannan,

Perhaps you can modify the following code, as it still makes Firefox bookmarks open in the sidebar. Sure, you can click on the link properties and uncheck “Load this bookmark in the sidebar”, but what a hassle to always have to do that!

function bookmarksite(title,url){
if (window.sidebar) // firefox
window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url, “”);
else if(window.opera && window.print){ // opera
var elem = document.createElement(‘a’);
elem.setAttribute(‘href’,url);
elem.setAttribute(‘title’,title);
elem.setAttribute(‘rel’,'sidebar’);
elem.click();
}
else if(document.all)// ie
window.external.AddFavorite(url, title);
}

Hi kannan

Netscape is officially dead. I have been looking for something that works with FireFox, but have not found anything that works reliably. If anyone knows of a FireFox JavaScript function to add bookmarks, let me know and I will modify the code. I am aware of the window.sidebar routine, but that does not yield the same results.
