automatically set a website as the homepage?

is it possible to automatically set a website as the homepage from the website itself?

yes, though most browsers' security settings disable it. Not quite sure how, google it. Probably done through a common scripting language like javascript or php, though.

well in some websites cant you click a button on the website and have it set as the home page…this would mean that the user has to confirm it….well just make a little pop-up saying something stupid and put some script in it so it will make it the home page heehee….so deceitful :evil:

lol u could totally fuck someone over this way.

haha, that's just plain evil! i love the idea, and i'll look into it

A simple 'Set as homepage' link ;)

markup<a href="#" onclick="this.style.behavior = 'url(#default#homepage)'; this.setHomePage('http://www.example.com');">Set as Homepage</a>

Simple enougth to make a bookmark this page link on a site but why not make a hotspot on a site right in the middle or the whole page and a on event action so you could do on mouse over and then run the rest of it like a link.

[Edit] Hope this make's sence it does in my mind, but don't think it was worded well and I can not gurantee this will work. [/edit]

Yeah I was thinking about that, but I had to go when posting so I just copied the text from the first google result lol :D

Ye I was just going to say google it, I'm sure alot of people have asked this question so there should be lot of info on the net.

I think it's impossible in Opera and Firefox. Dunno about either IE6 or 7.

This works for IE, Firefox and Netscape although it requires a confirmation in FF:

function bookmark(){
var title = 'Example Site FTW';
var url = 'http://www.example.com';
   if (document.all)
     window.external.AddFavorite(url, title);
   else if (window.sidebar)
     window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url, "")
   else if (window.sidebar&&window.sidebar.addPanel)
     window.sidebar.addPanel(title,url,"");
}
</script>

<a href="javascript:bookmark()">Bookmark this site</a>```
