"Add To Favorites" script
An "Add To Favorites" script is easy if you only care about Internet Explorer.
<a href="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('http://www.yoursite.com', 'Some text about your site')">Add this site to your favorites</a>'
But I'm having a difficult time finding a similar script that is cross browser. Anybody have some Firefox friendly code?

I haven't actually tried it, but the site that gave the link to this said it was proven to work.

Feel free to use the one i coded for a client, it works in Firefox but can't say i've tested it elsewhere!

Most people will add sites to their favorites on the browser without the link if they want to, so it really isn't needed. If you do want one and cannot find a cross browser version, you could always use a version that will only show if ther user has IE like this:
Add this site to your favorites
If the browser isn't IE then the code is hidden.
