I had a stab at doing this once, trying to do it as CSS-only as possible. It’s possible to do it only with CSS (by using the CSS3 pseudo-class) but that’s not a cross-browser method.
For a demonstration go here . The CSS takes advantage of position:fixed and javascript is used only for the event handling and positioning at the right height up the page (and loads of other stuff, but that script was a general use-one, you could just extract the event-handling and positioning bits). It’s a bit old and untested with the newer browsers, but it still seems to work and should at least give you a general idea.
Thanks Rafael, as you can see from the post to Paul, it’s to tell people in FF to press Ctrl + D if trying to save to favs.
Bearing the above extra info in mind, is the page on the link you kindly suggested the right way forward for this please ?

You should have said that in your first post. You see, most Firefox users will have figured out that there are no Favourites and that they are called Bookmarks. If they haven’t figured out that to save one they go to Bookmarks > Bookmark this page, then they probably aren’t interested in bookmarks/favourites.
However, if you really want this, I’d go for an approach like on the first link on Paul’s page. You’ll also have to cater for people who aren’t using the mouse.

Thanks Rafael, I wasn’t aware that it should have been mentioned, and I was just using the word favorites in the same context as bookmarks.
From experience, I’m all ok with the why’s , it’s just the how’s I need. Anyway, will look closer at Pauls example.
