Hi, two things. First the question about dynamic website name. I use a bit javascript to determine the url (location.href) and then a bit of javascript to determine the pages title (document.title) and assign variables to them. Then use those variables in the link.

I'll give the whole code I use, because my one is slightly different, but really the only difference is the pageurl and pagetitle variables I have set.

Help with Code Tags

(Toggle Plain Text)

<script type="text/javascript">
var pageurl=location.href;
var pagetitle=document.title;

function bookmarksite(title,url){
if (window.sidebar) 
    window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url, "");
else if(window.opera && window.print){ 
    var elem = document.createElement('a');
    elem.setAttribute('href',url);
    elem.setAttribute('title',title);
    elem.setAttribute('rel','sidebar');
    elem.click();
} 
else if(document.all)
    window.external.AddFavorite(url, title);
}
</script>
<p class="newstext"><a class="news" href="javascript:bookmarksite(pagetitle, pageurl)">Bookmark this page</a></p>

Second thing: Firefox. I'm having the sidebar problem too. And i have firefox 2.x. You can save the bookmark fine, but when you try to open it, it opens in the sidebar. Pretty useless for actually visiting a site!

Anyone have a solution to this?
