Is there a meta tag or another way to specify an different url for user's browsers to use when saving a bookmark. Or if browsers simply pull from the address bar when saving bookmarks, is there a way to mask the url in the address bar with the url I want them to bookmark.
 
Hi mate,

To change the url of bookmarks from a link, check out:


I can`t tell you how to direct the url if the bookmark is manually called by the user but another thing you might want to check out would be the following script:


It`s not really what you wanted but could be used to that effect.

Hope this helps Wullie

 
i usually have a link on the page that says something like "add me to favorites" and then, i call the following function:

Code:
<script>
function addFav()
{
 if (navigator.appName==&quot;Netscape&quot;) {
   alert(&quot;Vy karysajeciesia Netscape Navigator, kali laska, nacisnicie CTRL+D kab dadac staronku u Bookmarks/Zakladki&quot;);
 } 
 else {
   window.external.AddFavorite('[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.geocities.com/rydel23/','Rydel[/URL] N23');
 }
}
</script>
