When adding a bookmark or favorite the browser uses the TITLE tag of the page to automatically populate the title of the bookmark. However, my web pages use SEO-friendly titles which are not really user-friendly. Is there a method to override the title when the browser makes a bookmark?
I am aware that I can create a link on the page that calls javascript:
javascript:window.external.addFavorite("url","custom title");
But is is possible to do something similar when a user uses the menu or hotkey to create a bookmark?
I can't see how that would be possible. The browser takes the Title loaded, which is the Title displayed on the top of the page. When saving a bookmark, it doesnt go through the code. It just adds the URL and takes the site Title.
You could check if the "bookmark"-pressing triggers a javascript event, though, i think it woudlnt be cross-browser :)
