I really do not know if anybody use a favorite button on their websites. I know that social media buttons plugins are widely used and many on this plugins are also supports add to favorite button.
So, why I want to write a post about it? Because still a lot of my clients ask me to install the button on their websites.
And there is a cross-browser solution.
First of all let me show you the bookmark button HTML:
<a href="javascript:void(0)" onClick="return rudr_favorite(this);">Add to favorites</a>
The button JavaScript:
function rudr_favorite(a) { pageTitle=document.title; pageURL=document.location; try { // Internet Explorer solution eval("window.external.AddFa-vorite(pageURL, pageTitle)".replace(/-/g,'')); } catch (e) { try { // Mozilla Firefox solution window.sidebar.addPanel(pageTitle, pageURL, ""); } catch (e) { // Opera solution if (typeof(opera)=="object") { a.rel="sidebar"; a.title=pageTitle; a.url=pageURL; return true; } else { // The rest browsers (i.e Chrome, Safari) alert('Press ' + (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf('mac') != -1 ? 'Cmd' : 'Ctrl') + '+D to bookmark this page.'); } } } return false; }

Doesn’t work for Firefox and Opera. In all browsers I get “Press Ctrl+D to bookmark this page.”
