Change/intercept URL that gets assigned to a bookmark?

When a web page I created is bookmarked, for example using Ctrl-D or
Right-Click->Add To Favorites in IE, is there a way to intercept and/or
change the URL that gets assigned to the bookmark? Any JavaScript samples
that show how to do this?

thx

You are kidding, right?

The answer is no you can't.

Hi, Is it possible to change the forecolor of a disabled text control. I have a RichText Box that I don't want the user to edit but the Grey on Grey default is hard to read.
