Force bookmark-title change in IE

theswami · 04-23-2007, 03:30 PM

Does anyone know if it's possible to force someone's bookmark title to something else other than the title of the page bookmarked?

I would like to have our domain name appear as the bookmark title rather than the page title, which has more to do with SEO and doesn't contain the name of the site.

Thanks for any help on this.

Just change the text in the name field.

(That is how it looks in Internet Explorer 6. I'm not so sure about 7...)

Hi DJ-Zep - Sorry if I wasn't clear, what I meant was using some kind of script so that when a visitor comes to my site and bookmarks a page, my site will force the bookmark name on their browser to be our domain name, rather than the default of our Title tag.

Thanks.

Ahh, I see.

I think that this should work. I don't have time right now to test it, but it says it is compatible with both Netscape and IE.
