Hi Jensen,

The Javascript DOM does not have a method or a means of reading the list of bookmarks/favorites
in a browser, as allowing this would have posed a security threat and is a technique employed by
many spywares and trojans. It is always better, therefore, to simply add the bookmark without
checking for its existence.

Actually, you don't need to offer that, since that's built into the browser
already. ;o)
