OK, something else to try...  Anyone with MSIE4/5 care to try this out?--

Try right-clicking on the links there, or dragging them to your Links toolbar.
Does that work?

One problem was that it used double-quoted (") before...I just changed these

(...) It adds the link all right, but then when you try to click on it in the fave menu, it says (in the bottom status bar) 'error on page'. Nothing else - it just doesn't come up. (I use IE5). -Shiri (25 years ago, 14-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
