linking to the browsers homepage

[hammerslane]

hey, i'm pretty sure that this is moderately simple, it's just that whatever i search for, it returns results about a load of index.html linking tutorials. it's not the index page i want to link to though, it's just the clients browser home page.
any help?, thanks.

You need to re-phrase this question. It makes no sense.

If you want a set this page as your home page script (thats what it sounds like your asking for) just go to all the web and you don't even have to search for it, just view their source cos they have one on their page.
<a onClick="this.style.behavior='url(#default#homepage)'; this.setHomePage('http://www.alltheweb.com/'); return false;" href="#">Make AlltheWeb My Home Page</a>
that url will be the homepage.

ok. in internet explorer, if you press tools and then options, you get the option to set a 'browser home page' (what i called a CLIENT BROWSER HOMEPAGE). by clicking the link that PeOfEo gave, we can set this home page. i simply want to have a javascript link to the browser home page.

there is confusion in the search engines, because when i type LINK TO HOME PAGE, i am shown tutorials about linking to the index.html on a web server. and this, i do not want to do.


sorry about the bad explanation... i'm not usually this hard to understand.

I believe this is what you're looking for:<a href="about:home">Homepage.</a>However, I tested it and it seems to only work under IE, which is too bad.

wow that was easy :) i only want to use the link on the company intranet, everyone uses IE6 so no problem :cool:

thanks
