[Javascript] Adding scriptlet to favourites menu via javascript (IE 6+)

[Troy III Ajnej]

Your script is fine, 
but a command such as window.external.AddFavorite(url,title);will expose the browser to a malicious code of an uncivilized 
coder that will put into your favs every evil he can think of
right under your mouseclick.
 
Therefore, its a security restriction.
 
You will probably get a similar error/warning even if you manually
try to change some link addres protocol into javascript command.
