The bookmark script (onClick) I've got is not working on Chrome. I've
had a flick through Google but all I'm getting is people moaning about
how Chrome isn't providing it's own bookmark service properly. I
haven't got patience today to filter through the sh*t.

There was one result which looked like it could do the job, but it was
very long winded and had another domain strung into it. Suspicious.

What's the score then AC? Is there a clean 'click here' bookmark script
for Chrome or do you have to hack it?

TIA

Im just replying to say I've seen your post, so you dont think Im
ignoring you or something. I will have a look for you later when I have
time.

In the mean time, I do have to say that book mark management in Chrome
is not very good. I'd say its the biggest weakness I've experienced so
far. So Im not supprised about what you are saying.

Let me get back to you.

Looks like its do do with the java script you have.

function CreateBookmarkLink() {
title = document.title;
// Blogger - Replace with <$BlogItemTitle$>
// MovableType - Replace with <$MTEntryTitle$>
url = window.location.href;
// Blogger - Replace with <$BlogItemPermalinkURL$>
// MovableType - Replace with <$MTEntryPermalink$>
// WordPress - <?php bloginfo('url'); ?>
if (window.sidebar) { // Mozilla Firefox Bookmark
window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url,"");
} else if( window.external ) { // IE Favorite
window.external.AddFavorite( url, title); }
else if(window.opera && window.print) { // Opera Hotlist
return true; }
}
It works with mozilla and IE, but not Chrome. Aparently Chrome thinks its
Netscape. So, you need to add a handler for netscape. I found this which
might help you :

Check.

Thanks for that, I'll poke my head in there tomorrow. Kind of switched my
brain off the techie area in preference of a 3 day bender.

Quite right and all :)
