external.AddFavorite(sURL [, sTitle]);

The first argument specifies the URL to be added to the Favorites menu. The second argument (optional) specifies the title of the specified page. If you don't explicitly state a title, the default title is the URL. It can be changed by the user in the dialog box that pops up when the method is executed. The following code segment adds the current page to the Favorites list:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--

function addBookmark() {
  if (window.external)
    external.AddFavorite(location.href)
  else
    alert("Your browser doesn't support this feature.");
}

// -->
</SCRIPT>
<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Add" onClick="addBookmark()">
</FORM>

Here's the actual output:

if (window.external)
