Is there any Javascript Bookmarking Script that works in all browsers? All I can find is ones that work in IE..

I am fairly certain that netscape/mozilla/firefox users still have to press Ctrl+D to bookmark a page. (although I could bwe mistaken)>

Control+D also works in MSIE.

I haven't seen any javascript working in gecko to bookmark a page either.

Well, yeah...Ctrl+D is the universal key combination to bookmark. It's just that in IE you've got the javascript that will add a bookmark, but I don't think that there is one for the other browsers.

A bookmarking script is a stupid idea. Just let the user add the bookmark as they would normally. Why do you want to write a script, that emulates a function perfectly provided by the user agent?

This the same problem with those 'click here to go back' links, which are just javascript.history(-1); dumb idea.

The user knows how to use their browser, let them use it; don't try to be cute :P

Note that done correctly, navigation links do add to ease of user experience, but here I am specifically referring to those links that just navigate the history of the user agent.
