Hi
I've been wearing Google out trying to find a cross-browser script which will enable the user to click a link and set the current page as their homepage - which is something specifically requested by a client (well actually they probably don't care if it's cross browser - but I do!).
All the ones I've found are IE only.
Does anyone know of one?
Thanks

Cross browser "set as homepage" script
I don't know about anybody else but if a web page changes my homepage I'll be right pissed about it.
This is messing with the options and setting of the browser. Isn't it a security risk or sorts?

I'm not fond of the idea much to be honest. The IE versions I've found do ask before doing it rather than just taking over.

I don't think it's worth messing up your page to add alink to do it. If I want to bookmark a page, I'm quite happy going bookmars > bookmark this page.

I tend to agree - the reason the client wants it is that the page will be "marketed" in a large office complex and will have building news and a directory - it will be on an outside webserver as it's lots of different companies involved.
The client hopes to make money from Google ads/search and so wants to try to ensure that everyone in the building uses this particular page as a homepage.
