javascript to automatically open the IE 7 favorites on page launch

[dotolee]

Hi there.
Can anyone tell me how i can force the Favorites window to open on the side and be "pinned" via javascript?
I've been searching on the net and can't find anything...
Thanks.

as far as I know, you can't do this - it's a personal preference, and you can't control a browser setting through JS.

Can you imagine going to a website and having your browser settings changed?

--------
GOOGLE is a great resource to find answers to questions like "how do i..."

If you don't know exaclty what you want to do or what to search on, try Google Suggest:

I have recently been semi-converted to ensuring all my code (well most of it) works in both javascript and non-javasc

thanks for the response. does anyone else have any suggestions or can you confirm that this can't be accomplished?
Thanks.

A better question to ask is why do you want to do this? As vicvirk says, if a site started messing with my setup, I'd be a bit upset!

We could be confused in exactly the same way, but confusion might be like Nulls, and not comparable.

the client feels that this would be an ideal solution because it would lessen the learning curve for their end users. (and therefore gain more acceptance overall) they prefer this option over us creating them a custom menu. ??
i've never seen this done myself. but i have to ask because that's what they want me to prototype for them.
