To add it to the menu, use the following line.

,"SetBookmark","javascript:window.external.AddFavorite(window.location,document.title) onbordercolor=ff0000;offbordercolor=FFFFFF;",,"StatusBarText",0

Basically in the URL section you are putting a call to the javascript function, instead of using the onClick event handler.

Hope this helps!

Hi,
is there a possibility to add my own entries instead of "window.location" and "document.title"? For example not the current url but the index.html or not the current title but another one.
Thanx for your help

Sure, I dont see what not. Just enclose those values in single quotes. It would look something like

Code:

,"SetBookmark","javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('page.html','My Great Page') onbordercolor=ff0000;offbordercolor=FFFFFF;",,"StatusBarText",0 

But no single quotes or aposterphies (sp?) inside the names though...ok. If this doesnt work, there is one last thing you can do that will definetly work.

It goes wrong on the quotes.

Code:

javascript:window.external.AddFavorite(window.location,document.title)

works fine, but

Code:

javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('page.html','My Great Page')

does not. A workaround might be to call a method, that does the job, like

Code:

javascript:addMyFavorite()

and define the method in your menu definition file, like

Code:

function addMyFavorite() { window.external.AddFavorite('page.html','My Great Page');}

I actually thought about that, but I thought that if this person wanted to have this type of thing in a couple different menu items, that would mean defining an entire function just for each menu item. Theres no real dynamic ability there. But if this person only is going to use this once in a page, then its the perfect solution.
