Creating a cross browser bookmark script?

Any idea if I can do this. I have one working for Internet Explorer but it doesn’t work in Firefox. I though, at one time, it did but obviously that is impossible if it no longer works. Firefox is always backwards compatible, right?

Does anyone know of a crossbrowser script? I’ve heard they exist but I am having trouble finding one. Am I retarded?

Are you saying you want your bookmarks to be read in Firefox and IE?

Firefox has an import/export feature. In addition, if you use the IE Lite add-on with Firefox, you can open a page in FF and use IE Lite to open that same page in IE.

FWIW, I regularly synch my work and home computers by keeping a master bookmark file on a flash drive and use the already mentioned import/export feature. No muss, no fuss and easier than trusting the process to a script or third-party application. BTW, my current bookmark file is about one MB.

No, not at all. I want to write a script for a webpage that says “Bookmark us!” and it will bookmark that site onto your computer. I’d like it to be browser independent if at all possible or atleast workable between IE and FF. I have a script written right now that works just fine with IE but it won’t read in FF.

How about Safari and Opera and Netscape Navigator and Konqueror and Camino and Shiira and AOL? You want this thing to work in them as well?

And: won’t a decent percent of people browsing to your website have security settings that don’t allow web pages to bookmark themselves, lest Certain Types set up websites that auto-execute that kind of code the moment the page loads without user intervention?

I did a little hunting around and it looks like it’s a hard thing to do in modern browsers nowadays because of security. Most scripts work in “IE 4 or higher” but I would be suspicious that it would work in IE 7, with all the new security.

this blog has one that supposedly works cross-browser (you have to weed out some of the blog-specific code) but if you check out the comments, it’s not certain whether or not it works in FF 2.

Touche!
