bookmarks

we want to provide an online bookmark service to our customers. Therefor it would be nice to provide also a function to store local bookmarks into our online tool. This shouldn't be done automatically - the user should confirm this action (only in case someone thinks I want to spy users data). I'm looking for a while now, but I found only that there is no solution, because it's a security risk. Is there a way or already a tool for such a functionality in Javascript? Regards This is completely impossible. You need to write a browser addon. Is there a way or already a tool for such a

I want to make it easier for a user to import bookmarks to my server. Is there anyway to automate this process using javascript to obtain the user's bookmarks? I'm assuming the browser has to have this feature - and I'm not sure if any browser does due to the inherent security risk. Nope, that's not possible for security/privacy reasons . The only way is to ask them explicitly through form input to give you but I don't think you want to do that. The browser is obviously aware of their bookmarks, but no, JS cannot access this information - it would be leaking private data as you yourself have

Is it possible to detect when a page is bookmarked within the browser, using Javascript? No, AFAIK this is not possible. Most browsers will not let you detect when a page is bookmarked because this would be another vector for Browser History Mining exploits. If malicious code could tell what websites you've used then, for example: At best, they'd know things about you that you might wish to keep private. They could use that information to target you with embarrassing ads or to target your kids with irresistible ads. They could target you with much more effective phishing attacks -- since they

I am having an issue with jQuery and how to dynamically process urls. What I would like to do is this if I have a page with links and each one has an id to call a function and an id. How can I change the url for the specific link and have that url work as a bookmark. Below is my code <div data-role="page" id="#listview"> <div data-role="header"> <h1>List</h1> </div> <div data-role="content"> <ul data-role="listview" id="carlist"> <li><a href="#" onclick="cardetails('1')">Acura</a></li> <li><a href="#" onclick="cardetails('2')>Audi</a></li> <li><a href="#" onclick="cardetails('3')>BMW</a></li>

I need to bookmark parts of a document from the name of paragraphs but the name of a paragraph is not always a valid name for a bookmark name. I have not found on Google or MSDN an exhaustive list of limitations for bookmark names. What special characters are forbidden? The only thing I found is that the length must not exceed 40 characters. If you are familiar with regular expressions, I would say it is ^(?!\d)\w{1,40}$ Where \w refers to the range of Unicode word characters, which also contain the underscore and the digits from 0-9. Expressed differently: The name must start with a word
