Determine Home Page?

In a web page, is there any way to determine the user's home page? I'd like to have a button on a web page which, when clicked, links to the user's home page (w/o knowing before hand, the URL of the user's home page). So, regardless of who accesses the page, clicking the button links to his home page.

TIA for any help.
 
As far as im aware the security model only allows Javascript to set a bookmark not retrieve one. It would be a bit of an invasion of privacy if any website could see your bookmarks or browsing history even if their intentions are honourable....
 
crazyboybert,

Thanks for your speedy response. I suspected this might be the case, but was hoping that perhaps there was some type of privacy-safe approach of which I was unaware. There's a good chance you're correct, and there is no way to do this.
