How can a website add itself to your Favorites?

How can a website mysteriously add itself to my IE's Favorites? Do I have a virus?

Javascripting.

Javscript huh? :| That useful tool that has brought us pop ups, pop unders, and the wonderful "minimized browser in the taskbar".

That's why I like to surf on High Security where I can.

I hate that type of scripting as much as the "add to favorites" pop ups or any other pop ups. When are designers going to learn that angers people????

its usually porn sites that do it. I'm careful on which ones I go to now

 

Yeah - happened to me with a porn site, and caused my dad to come downstairs asking me, "What the hell are those porn sites doing on my favorites?"

Good thing we've got XP with NTFS and user profiles now
