Hey Dude, I don't know if you'll have much luck with the JavaScript route. In order to make use of JavaScript, an event has to be fired and I don't think there is a "onbookmark" or equivalent available.
Plus, I'm sure that any available behavior would be different for every Browser brand. MSIE has a method where you can make your own "Add Favorite" link or button on a page and specify a custom URL and title: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/ref erence/methods/addfavorite.asp?frame=true (Above URL may word-wrap) I use this on my site but it is MSIE specific, and I'm sure you're looking for something for all browsers - plus you still can't stop someone from using the add Bookmark/Favorite button on their browser toolbar, which I'm sure you can't override. I would think most browsers would block what you are trying to do, because it could be used for malicious reasons. Some web-developers that don't belong to the Witango List, are known to be less scrupulous :-) One option, although not a very practical one, would be to redisplay the external "target" page via <@URL> so that external URL's always have your domain address - so then you could also do checks for Logon Variables and such before displaying pages. <@URL> with the BASE attribute would allow you to re-display a page from www.othersite.com/page.htm as www.mysite.com/mypage.taf As a result, any save as a Bookmark/Favorite would be your address and not the real address. Hope this helps. Cheers........
