<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
