Mac + IE Bookmark Javascript (?)

[m9d]

I am using this little bit of code for IE users to "bookmark this page"

window.external.AddFavorite(self.location.href,document.title)

However my Mac-friends tell me that nothing happens.

Does the Mac-IE use different code, or does it not support this javascript and I need to ask them to hit APPLE+D?

Only IE for Windows supports those extensions. IE for Mac is a completely different beast. Best approach is to suggest that users bookmark it manually (as you say: apple-D).

Cheers,
Jeff

That is what I was affraid of.

What I need next is some javascript code that detects Mac IE and automatically downloads and installs Firefox for the user.

Like I read in someone's signature on this forum: "In a world without fences and walls, there is no need for Gates and Windows.

Or you could look at it from this point of view:

Why should your page be able to forcibly add itself to my favourites against my wishes?

Just playing devil's advocate ;o)
