Creating a Favorites page

[Dross]

Has anyone ever created a page in .NET that the user can click on an icon or link and add the current page to a favorites page?

What I want to do is have our users go to their most frequently used pages on our site and add it to their favorites so the next time they log on, they can go directly to their favorites page and click the link they want instead of hunting through the site to get to a certain page.

I think it can be done fairly easily, but I have never done anything like this. Is there some sample code out there I can look at?

Dross,

I had to provide the same functionality for an intranet site I am working on and found this link very useful. It works for IE, and tells netscape users they need to bookmark the link manually which was fine for me as everyone at my company uses IE.

Hope that helps...

if you're talking about a favorites page built into your application, no the one in a browser... they way i went about it was to create a favorites table in a database, then use the users login as a key to track where they have chosen favorites. you can display this information where ever and how ever you want when a user logs on...

a more temporary way would be to store the data in a session or a cookie.

Thanks Stuck, but gagz is right on with what I need. I am doing the same exact thing with our site. We have close to 100 links and applications on our intranet site and I want people to be able to bookmark individual pages from our site and generate a page of favorites just for them. This way when they log on, they click their link for favorites page and all the sites they saved comes up and then they just choose what they want.

Any way to see some code gagz?
