Set homepage script throwing error

[arbpen]

I find it superfluous to have a 'Make Us Your Homepage' link/script,
but there it is, I have boss who wants it.

Anyway, this is the snippet that is throwing an error:

<li style="border:0"><a href="#st=100&amp;zip=18&amp;cities=18,19"
onclick="this.style.behavior=\'url(#default#homepage)\';this.setHomePage(\'http://www.nextblock.com\');">Make
nextBlock! my homepage</a></li>

IE6 is reporting an error on line 426 character 21, invalid character.

The URL is
<http://atlas.nextblock.com/files/beta2/test.asp?zip=18&st=100&cities=18,19>

Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

onclick="this.style.behavior=\'url(#default#homepage)\';this.setHomePage(\'http://www.nextblock.com\');">Make
nextBlock! my homepage</a></li>

1. There's no need to escape the single quotes.
2. The 'this' keyword used in this context refers to your anchor
element, which in turn does not have a setHomePage method.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Why not check with microsoft's documentation on how to use it? They
even have an example:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...r/behaviors/reference/methods/sethomepage.asp

And finally, I don't suppose your boss cares that this is a propietary
method, therefore "setting the home page" this way will only work for
IE.

Yup, that did the trick.

She also doesn't care that opening a new window breaks the back button,
that users already have HOME/END buttons, and that not everyone has the
same screen size she does.

Thank you for your help. Hope you have a great weekend.
