Marie,
I don't think you need code. I just went there and made it a Favorite. I use IE. Is Netscape with its Bookmarks that different? It wasn't the last time I used that browser.
Good luck with the site.
I did not register through Yahoo, if that makes a difference. I just went and looked and "favorited."

Hi, thanks for the reply, I am using IE 6.0 as well, but I was just looking to add it to my site that is all, I guess you could say for those that are a bit lazier than that...I dunno!..LOL!

Thanks for your help!

Marie,

I've emailed a javaScript to you that will do it for IE 4.0 and higher. I haven't fixed it to work for netscape but if it works for you feel free to use it.

Charles

Edit:

Marie, I kept getting error messages when I emailed Imhollis8593@yahoo.com so I'll put the code here. You'll have to change the ?'s with greater than marks and the ??'s with less than marks.

Marie, here's the javascript.

??script language=javascript?
??!--
function MakeBkMark(strURL,strTitle) {
if (document.all) {
window.external.AddFavorite(strURL,strTitle);
}
else { alert("Sorry. This quick bookmark only works in \rInternet Explorer versions 4.0 and later."); }
}
//--?
??/script?

Place it in the header and for your link call the script like:

??A href="javascriptakeBkMark(http://www.mypage.com,HollisHomePage)";?Add to Favorites??/A?

HI Charles, Thanks!
My email is all lower case... lmhollis8593@yahoo...the first letter is a lowercase L...hehehe..most make that mistake for some reason..o well...

anywho, got a question...seeing I am on Tripod the heading does not allow any tags in it that I have found...Should I just put it below the heading?

I had one on it earlier and it keep pulling up my Bravenet Counter Stat Page...but I entered the homepage addy as http://rvrsunited.tripod.com and the Bookmark Name was/is RV'rs United so why would it pull up my counter page?

Thanks again...
Marie

You're right, Marie I thought it was an 'i'. Oh, well!

What I meant by the "header" is the header portion of your html page. Here is the code (again, replace less than sign with ?? and greater than sign with ?

??!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"?
??HTML?
??HEAD?
??TITLE? Your Page ??/TITLE?
??META NAME="Author" CONTENT=""?
??META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT=""?
??META NAME="Description" CONTENT=""?
??!-- Place the javaScript here --?

??/HEAD?

??BODY?
??!-- Place the link here --?
??/BODY?
??/HTML?

Just for your future reference, I went to a site that had a "bookmark this site" line. I viewed the source and there was the javascript needed. Whenever I see someone doing something on a web site I like, I just look at the source to see how they did it. If you want to see an example, go to this site
http://www.idxc.org/script/bookmark.htm
I know you now have a java script to do the same thing.
