TUTORIAL

STEP 1:

For this tutorial I am going to use the Bookmark Us JavaScript as this will be helpful to you in keeping returning visitors, another reason being this particular JavaScript requires an external file, which you will encounter with some JavaScript code. Copy the code below:

function bookmark(url,title){
  if ((navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") && (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4)) {
  window.external.AddFavorite(url,title);
  } else if (navigator.appName == "Netscape") {
    window.sidebar.addPanel(title,url,"");
  } else {
    alert("Press CTRL-D (Netscape) or CTRL-T (Opera) to bookmark");
  }
}

Paste the text into Notepad (Found in, Start -All Programs- Accessories-Notepad).

Save the File as bookmark.js.

Make sure you save the bookmark.js file in the same location as your web pages.

STEP 2:

Select and copy the text below:

<script type="text/javascript" src="bookMark.js"></script>

Paste the code into the <HEAD> tag of your web page.

The SRC (source) is bookmark.js make sure your file is saved as this, if you have saved your file to another folder you will need to change the SCR (example - new folder/bookmark.js) to that folder.

STEP 3:

Copy the code below:

<form action="#">
<input type="button" value="Bookmark us!" onclick="bookmark('http://www.freegeardesign.co.uk')">
</form>

Paste the code into the <BODY> tag of your web page.

You will need to change the Onclick address from www.freegeardesign.co.uk to your website address. Save and view your web page.
