My first thought after trying the code is that this line:
<a href="AddFavLnk();">Add to Desktop</a>
should read:
<a href=# onClick="AddFavLnk()">Add to Desktop</a>
or something like that.
Alternatively, it’s probably possible to put something like:
<a href="javascript:AddFavLnk();">Add to Desktop</a>
but I’ve never played around with that kind of call so syntactically it may be incorrect.
Having said all that, I’m still getting a problem with “Shl” being undefined, so I’ll delve a little deeper into the code and try work out why that is.

Disclaimer:
I think that there’s a better way of writing “href=#” but I can’t recall it right now.
Originally posted by JohnSaunders I came across this code [http://www.ca-osi.com/article.php?sid=107] but I can’t get it to work. Can somebody tell me what I’m doing wrong:
Forgot this line?
document.write(“<APPLET height=0 width=0 code=com.ms.activeX.ActiveXComponent></APPLET>”);
OK…I tried the code below but I still couldnt’ get it to work. I tried it with and without the link. When clicking the link, I still got the Shl not defined error.
Does anybody else have any ideas?
