I 'm new to this, but I'll appreciate it if someone could help me with my script I'm writing a javascript that add's site to favortites. It works fine in IE but not in anything else. This is for a clients site who uses Mac and linux. I want it to work in all browsers (IE,FireFox,Safari,google Chrome, and Opera).
thanks for your time and please help

and this is the code

<html>
<body>


<script language="JavaScript" type="Text/Javascript">
<!-- 

var urlAddress = "http://www.maktoob.com"; 
var pageName = "index.php";

function addToFavorites() 
	{ 
	if (window.external) 
	{
	window.external.AddFavorite(urlAddress,pageName) 
	} 
	else 
	{ 
	alert("Sorry! Your browser doesn't support this function."); 
	}
	} 
	
	
// -->
</script>

<script>
	/* Modified to support Opera */
function bookmarksite(title,url)
	{

	if (window.sidebar) // firefox
	window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url, "");
	else 
	if(window.opera && window.print)
