With this method, you can add your own bookmarks to the favorites menu.
You must specify a URL value (otherwise there is no point in adding the bookmark). However, you need not specify the second argument which is the text displayed in the menu.
Typically you might provide a button on the page called "bookmark me" which might call some script to work out what the real URL should be. This gets round one of the major problems with framed sites in that a bookmark usually yields unpredictable results since you are accessing the site at a sub-framed level.
// Bookmark a page from its current location // using its document title string as an // identifying text. window.external.AddFavorite(location.href, document.title);
