Dear Sir

The code is excellent. Just a small note, It is missing a closing } at end of Javascript

Thanks for sharing wonderful code.

Regards

I dont't see a problem with an " add to favorites" button. I do think if any webmaster finds a need to secretly add their page to their visitors favorites list, then they are probably doing something else wrong and spending their time developing the wrong parts of their site. Is not the idea of a favorites list that it gives the user quick access to THEIR favorite sites? Why not , instead of trying to be sneeky and getting people upset at you for this, just improve your sites content? Maybe then people will click on the "add to favorites button" because they want to.

OK.. Well I've got 15 developers sitting around me.. The Average monitor size is 21 Inches. The average resolution is 1280x1024.

I asked each one of them to bring up their browser, and low and behold not a single one of them had their browser set to "Full Screen". Besides, if I do open "Site Experts" to Full Screen there seems to be allot of "white (wasted) space".

BTW, in case you're curious. I'm running at a resollution of 1600x1200.

What I will iterate is this.. As a good developer one should always be 100% Completely aware of what the USER is going to see. I lower the resolution at least 3-4 times a day, when working on a web project. So that I see exactly what the USER is going to see. If I were to develop my projects with a 1600x1200 display resolution in mind, I'd probable have people complaining about it, if they even thought it would be worth the complaint.

Obviously another individual and I, think highly enough of Site Experts to bring it to their attention.

This is a developper site so I don't think that the pages must fit in a 800 * 600.

If you have to scroll sideway to read maybe it's time to upgrade your display or change resolution.
