Hi,

Just wanted to know if there is any provision in HTML through which a
particular url is forced to be added to the Favoriates/Bookmark folder
of the browser when a user bookmarks a page.

For example if the user is on the following url
www.abc.com/sub1/sub2/Details.htm

and tries to bookmark this page then instead of the above url the
following main url gets saved
www.abc.com/index.htm

I was wondering if one of the meta tags provide this feature.

TIA

This is for an internal web-application used
by our staff only. They get to the first page (the actual page that
needs to be bookmarked) by typing in the link in the address-bar or by
clicking on the url someplace. But as soon as this page loads the
Windows domain login box pops-up asking them to enter username and
password. At this point they cannot bookmark this page since the
browsers menu/buttons for this purpose are disabled (while the popup
window is on). As soon as they enter the credentials the page is
resubmitted to a new action page where the rest of the processing is
done. finally when the browser buttons/menu for bookmark is available
it is no longer the original page that needed to be bookmarked.

There is nothing in HTML that can force anything. Assume your visitor
knows how to handle a webbrowser, or do some explanation to help him on
his way. Don't dumb him down by doing the job for him because you cannot.

"No" is the simple answer.
