Need a link to bookmark page in master page

Question

User50862095 posted

I have two javascripts I need to put on the Master Page.  One is for printing the page, and the other is for bookmarking the page. 

I tried just adding the scripts as I would have on Classic ASP.  The print script works, but the Bookmark script doesn't, even if I hardcode the page to bookmark.  Passing the page name makes this script a bit more challenging. 

I tried registering the scripts and neither script works.  

I'm content to leave the print script as I originally had it, but how do I get the bookmark script working?

I tried:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" >
<!--
    function CreateBookmarkLink(sTitle, sUrl) {
   
        if (window.sidebar) {
            // Mozilla Firefox Bookmark
            window.sidebar.addPanel(sTitle, sUrl,"");
        }
        else if( window.external ) {
            // IE Favorite
            window.external.AddFavorite(sUrl, sTitle);
        }
        else if(window.opera && window.print) {
            // Opera Hotlist
            return true;
        }
    }
//-->
</script>

and

<a href="javascript:CreateBookmarkLink('Write A Prisoner>',
                                 '<%# Eval(Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") & "?" & Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING"))%>');">Bookmark</a>

I couldn't get the variables passed, so I tried this:

<a href="javascript:CreateBookmarkLink('Write A Prisoner','Default.aspx');">Bookmark</a> but to no avail.

 I also tried

Dim bookScript As String = ""
bookScript = "function CreateBookmarkLink(sTitle, sUrl) {"
bookScript = bookScript & "if (window.sidebar) {window.sidebar.addPanel(sTitle, sUrl,'');}"
bookScript = bookScript & "else if( window.external ) {window.external.AddFavorite(sUrl, sTitle);}"
bookScript = bookScript & "else if(window.opera && window.print) {return true;}}"
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.GetType(), "BookScript", bookScript, True)

and  

<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton2" runat="server" OnClientClick="CreateBookmarkLink()">LinkButton</asp:LinkButton> 

 And I tried the above, only using RegisterClientScriptBlock.  Nothing works.

Please try this,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

<asp:linkbutton ID="lbBookmark" runat="server" OnClientClick="CreateBookmarkLink('Write A Prisoner')">LinkButton</asp:linkbutton><o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

and

<o:p> </o:p>

     Dim sUrl = window.location.href;"<o:p></o:p>

As String = ""<o:p></o:p>

        bookScript = "function CreateBookmarkLink(sTitle) { sUrl = window.location.href;"<o:p></o:p>

        bookScript = bookScript & "if (window.sidebar) {window.sidebar.addPanel(sTitle, sUrl,'');}"<o:p></o:p>

        bookScript = bookScript & "else if( window.external ) {window.external.AddFavorite(sUrl, sTitle);}"<o:p></o:p>

        bookScript = bookScript & "else if(window.opera && window.print) {return true;}}"<o:p></o:p>

        Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.GetType(), "BookScript", bookScript, True)<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

The changes I made is sUrl = window.location.href;" <o:p></o:p>

And reduced the number of parameter passed to the function to one.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

If you want to pass variable dynamically, use string expressoins like

 

<o:p> </o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

bookScript = "function CreateBookmarkLink(" & Request.ServerVariables("XXXXXX")

This works, thank you!  I'll have to play with it to get the page name in there.  I was wondering though, why have the bookmark open in page as opposed to a page?
