add link to favorites

**Connect_Me** · 24-02-2009

I am setting up a website and would like to add a link that allows the visitor to click to directly add my site to their favorites.

I did the test with this code (<a href="javascript:window.external.addfavorite('http://....','....')"> My site in your Favorites </a>), but when clicked nothing happens.

If someone with a tip.

In any case, it seems to be a Microsoft specific (one more), which only works with Internet Explorer

"Window.external.addfavorite" does not work with IE7! It is sad indeed!
