Add to browser favorites/bookmarks from JavaScript but for all browsers (mine doesn't work in Chrome)?

Question

Can anyone help, I am using the following for adding a bookmark to IE and Firefox but its not working in Chrome and I don\'t get my error msg saying \"not supported\" either

Answer 1

I couldnt get the above example to work. Anyway the answer to the original question 'its not working in CHROME and i don't get my error msg saying "not supported" either..' is due to the line

else if (window.external) { // IE 

chrome actually passes this test and then obiously fails to add a bookmark. I changed this line to

else if(window.external && !window.chrome)  // IE

and now you get the 'not supported' message. I actually removed this message and called the function hotKeys() to get a more meaningful alert. I had to make a few changes to get that to work

function showHotKeys() 
{ 
var ua = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase(); 
var str = ''; 
var isWebkit = (ua.indexOf('webkit') != - 1); 
var isMac = (ua.indexOf('mac') != - 1); 

if (ua.indexOf('konqueror') != - 1) { 
    str = 'CTRL + B'; // Konqueror 
} else if (window.home || isWebkit || isMac) { 
    str = (isMac ? 'Command/Cmd' : 'CTRL') + ' + D'; // Netscape, Safari, iCab
} 
return ((str) ? 'Press ' + str + ' to bookmark this page.' : str); 
}
