Re: A different approach for bookmarks.

How about a hybrid solution.

Instead of running the script as a cronjob, just have a submit button on the web page check the email buffer and update the links.

I wish I knew more javascript, but might it also be possible to have a cgi program that sends the javascript to add a particular link to your local browser bookmarks? This may be not allowed for security reasons?

It is possible but rather difficult. In Netscape this requires UniversalBrowserWrite which can only be accquired with a "Java Permissions" dialog box. I know it's possible in IE as well but I don't know if it prompts you or it it just requires really insecure settings. Anyways it should be hard, who wants random links to cheese factories, inkjet cartridge resellers and mortgage companies appearing in the bookmarks? UPDATE: Replaced 'Java Permissions dialog analog' with '"Java Permissions" dialog box'. `-- perl -p -e "s/(?:\w);([st])/'\$1/mg"`	[reply]
