The code below demonstrates some javascript code that adds a bookmark to the visitors IE favourites list. (Please note this *only* works in Internet Explorer)
<!-- ADD WEB PAGE IN TO FAVORITES LIST //-->
<Html>
<Head><title>Add in to favorites</title></Head>
<Body style="font-size:x-small">
<a href="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('Pari Web Services™-One Stop shop for IT solutions','www.pari.4t.com')">Click to add this web page in to Favorite</a>
</Body>
</Html>
The AddFavorite function uses the following syntax:
window.external.AddFavorite(PageTitle,URL)
(the external object gives access to the Internet Explorer document object model).

There are a couple errors in suggested code. This code works, plus it shows the URL on the status bar and blocks the link from being dragged.
<a
href="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('http://www.domain.com', 'description')"
onMouseOver="window.status='http://www.domain.com'; return true;"
onMouseOut="window.status=''"
onDragStart="return false">
Add to Favorites
