Take the Following Steps to Insert the Java Script Code:

*** Inside the first table below is the original code (you'll copy this and insert it into your HTML):  This code is property of A1Javascripts.com and must be kept in-tact to use for free....

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- Begin
if ((navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") && (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4)) {

var url="http://www.a1javascripts.com";
var title="A1 JavaScripts";

document.write('<A HREF="javascript:window.ext');
document.write('ernal.AddFavorite(url,title);" ');
document.write('onMouseOver=" window.status=');
document.write("'Add our site to your favorites!'; return true ");
document.write('"onMouseOut=" window.status=');
document.write("' '; return true ");
document.write('">Add our site to your favorites!</a>');
}
else {
var msg = "Don't forget to bookmark us!";
if(navigator.appName == "Netscape") msg += "  (CTRL-D)";
document.write(msg);
}

// End -->
</script>




STEP 1.  Locate the area of your web page where you would like to insert the code. 

The screen shot below shows where I inserted the code for the example above into my HTML...


Bookmark Code Sample


STEP 2.  The green arrows show the beginning and end of the Bookmark script.  This gives you an idea of where it was inserted into my page.  Notice mine was inserted between two <center> tags in order to center the words or link on my web page.



NOTE:  Internet Explorer Visitors will See the Following in the form of a link on your Web page once the code is inserted:

Add our site to your favorites!
 
 

** Netscape users will see the following instead due to the differences in the way the browsers work with java code.  When your visitor hits CTRL D, the bookmark is added for that particular page - no customized title is available for Netscape at this time, but at least it reminds the visitor to bookmark:

Don't forget to bookmark us! (CTRL-D)



STEP 3.  The red arrow shows the web address of the site you would like to bookmark.  Where you see the address http://www.webmastercourse.com, you'll replace this with your own URL address - and leave the quotes.   When your visitor clicks on the bookmark link provided on your page in Explorer or uses the CTRL D function in Netscape, they will automatically be given an opportunity to bookmark your web address.

STEP 4.  This step is to add an extra feature to Internet Explorer for your web page bookmarks...

The blue arrow points to the "Title" of your bookmark link which will give the visitor a description of your site in their bookmarks which you specify.  This is great because it allows you to insert a catchy phrase that will remind your visitor of what your site's all about.  Normally, when someone visits a site and decides to bookmark it, they don't re-type a description.  They just allow the browser to choose a title from the page meta tags, which can be a good or bad thing.  You can choose the title you want the person to see using this script.

Simply replace the words Web and Graphic Design Training for Beginners with your specific web page title - and leave the quotes.

For Internet Explorer Only:  This can come in handy when your customer is not at your home page when bookmarking, but is at a product page instead.  You can then specify the bookmark to be the home page web address and the main website theme "title" instead of a product page title.  This will make the bookmark more attractive and eliminate confusion in most cases for the visitor later on.

STEP 5.  Transfer your web page to the Internet using FTP as any normal page and test it out.  Your message for bookmarking your site should appear and work properly.  If not, try going through each step once more, and email me if you still need help.
