How do I create a link that adds my page to the favourites menu of IE? For Netscape, I suppose it's Ctrl+D.

This will work for IE4+

<html>
<head>
<title>My page</title>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function addToFavorite() {
window.external.AddFavorite(location.href, document.title);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" onclick="addToFavorite(); return false">Add this page to favorites</a>
</body>
</html>


Documentation on AddFavorite() method:

For Netscape, try to invoke the key code for control-D for the keydown event of the link.
