public class CreateBookmarkTag

extends javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.TagSupport

This class is a custom tag that renders the JWPCreateBookmark() Javascript function which can be called to bookmark the current page, or an arbitrary URL. Note that this function DOES NOT work if you load a file manually in a browser (i.e., if you try to bookmark a local file).

This tag uses the following attributes:

renderScriptTags - true/false - When set to true, the Javascript will be rendered inside a <script> </script> tag pair. When set to false, this will not be done and it is expected that the <jstags:fullTrim/> tag appears inside a <script> </script> tag pair. If this attribute is not present, the script tags WILL be rendered.

It renders the following Javascript:

function JWPCreateBookmark(jwpcb_inURL, jwpcb_inTitle) {
if (arguments.length == 0) {
jwpcb_inURL = location.href;
jwpcb_inTitle = document.title;
} else if (arguments.length == 1) {
jwpcb_inURL = location.href;
}
if (window.external) {
window.external.AddFavorite(location.href, document.title);
} else if (window.sidebar) {
window.sidebar.addPanel(jwpcb_inTitle, jwpcb_inURL, "");
} else {
alert("I am sorry but your browser does not support adding " +
"bookmarks via script.");
}
}

Usage example:

JWPCreateBookmark();
This will bookmark the current page, using the document's title.

JWPCreateBookmark("My Title");
This will bookmark the current page, using the value passed in as the title.

JWPCreateBookmark("http://www.cnn.com", "CNN News Page");
This will bookmark the page found at the URL "http://www.cnn.com" using the title "CNN News Page".
