Cross-browser bookmark/add to favorites JavaScript [duplicate]

How do I add an “Add to Favorites” button or link on my website? 5 answers

Is there any cross-browser bookmark/add to favorites using JavaScript.

Searched for some list but none is working. Can you please suggest any?

jQuery Version

JavaScript (modified from a script I found on someone's site - I just can't find the site again, so I can't give the person credit):

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#bookmarkme").click(function() {
    if (window.sidebar) { // Mozilla Firefox Bookmark
      window.sidebar.addPanel(location.href,document.title,"");
    } else if(window.external) { // IE Favorite
      window.external.AddFavorite(location.href,document.title); }
    else if(window.opera && window.print) { // Opera Hotlist
      this.title=document.title;
      return true;
    }
  });
});

HTML:

<a id="bookmarkme" href="#" rel="sidebar" title="bookmark this page">Bookmark This Page</a>

IE will show an error if you don't run it off a server (it doesn't allow JavaScript bookmarks via JavaScript when viewing it as a file://....

If you need a more complete script, you can always buy one from this page (No, I'm not affiliated with that site... LOL).

function bookmark(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();//this.title=document.title;
 }
 else if (document.all)
 {// ie
  window.external.AddFavorite(url, title);
 }
}

I used this & works great in IE, FF, Netscape. Chrome, Opera and safari do not support it!

I'm thinking no. Bookmarks/favorites should be under the control of the user, imagine if any site you visited could insert itself into your bookmarks with just some javascript.

How about using a drop-in solution like ShareThis or AddThis? They have similar functionality, so it's quite possible they already solved the problem.

AddThis's code has a huge if/else browser version fork for saving favorites, though, with most branches ending in prompting the user to manually add the favorite themselves, so I am thinking that no such pure JavaScript implementation exists.

Otherwise, if you only need to support IE and Firefox, you have IE's window.externalAddFavorite( ) and Mozilla's window.sidebar.addPanel( ).
