Running a JavaScript code when a browser bookmark is clicked
- by Arjun Vasudevan
I've written a code that has successfully created a bookmark for any of the following browsers - IE, Firefox and Opera.
function bookmark()
{
var title = 'Google';
var url = 'http://google.com';
if (document.all)// Check if the browser is Internet Explorer
window.external.AddFavorite(url, title);
else if (window.sidebar) //If the given browser is Mozilla Firefox
window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url, "");
else if (window.opera && window.print) //If the given browser is Opera
{
var bookmark_element = document.createElement('a');
bookmark_element.setAttribute('href', url);
bookmark_element.setAttribute('title', title);
bookmark_element.setAttribute('rel', 'sidebar');
bookmark_element.click();
}
}
Now I want my bookmark to run a piece of JavaScript code instead of surfing to Google, when the user clicks on it.
