Interesting!
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........

I am having a problem I need resolved. Sorry for the OT post, but I figure maybe some of you may have has this come up before.
I have a taf file that requires a login and password on the home page. The taf searches the DB and if the login and password matches, it branches to a framed site that loads some personal preferences in the top frame (Same domain name) and loads a different site in the lower frame (different domain name, different url).
Now when a user bookmarks this page, it bookmarks the lower domain and URL, bypassing the framed site and/or the login page.
What I need is to have the user forced to the 1st login, no matter what page is book marked. The problem I am having is that I do not have control over the content of the lower frame.
Is there a way to resolve this. maybe using javascript to force the login page as the only page that can be bookmarked?
