[thelist] add to favourites and bookmark this page

[Smith D.B.]

Lisa, 

The logic of your JS should go something like this:

If the navigator.userAgent property contains the string 'MSIE' and not
'Opera' then document.write your IE specific hyperlink
else document.write the text 'Remember to bookmark us' (or something
similar)

Also <noscript> the 'Remember to bookmark us' text again for non-JS
browsers.  

Of course, this won't work if Opera or Mozilla are identifying
themselves as IE.  

Have a look at http://www.quirksmode.org/ for some JS browser detection
scripts or http://www.iota-six.co.uk/javascript/12_navig.htm for more
about the navigator object.  

HTH,
Dan
