Bookmarking Trouble in NS

[ThomasW]

Anyone have a work around for this?
I quote"
the problem is that in ns and aol, we cannot control the URL that gets set in the bookmark. In IE we can specify a particular URL, whereas in NS and AOL, those browsers bookmark the url that is in the location.url"


We need to set the bookmark to:

http://ourserver.com/servlet/Show?PAGE=am/home.jsp&MSRS=xx

but it gets set to

http://ourserver.com/servlet/Show

This is just killing us..

thanks!

I've just tried to add it to my bookmarks (rightclicking on the link) with Netscape 4.7, 6.2 and 7.01 and it worked every time. Are you sure it's not a broken browser thing?

The problem is that we use a loader page and depending on what the URL has in it determines which version of the page is loaded. Once the page is loaded the url is the same regardless of which version of the page that was loaded. I did find a script on DynamicDrive that will allow you to say what URL to use in NS, but for AOL it just takes the URL that you are on. I guess the easy way to fix it is just not offer a bookmark for AOL users...

Well, my first instict would be to use PHP to parse the user agent string server-side and dispatch different versions of output according to the result...
