Topic awaiting preservation: setting Netscape homepage (Page 1 of 1)

I have this:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function setnshome(where){
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege('UniversalPreferencesWrite');
navigator.preference('browser.startup.homepage',where);
}
</script>
<a href="#" onclick="setnshome('http://www.ozoneasylum.com');">do it</a>

and it works fine. But I'd like to pass document.location to it to make the current page the homepage. I can't seem to get it to work right. Ideas?

Could you show us the code of a failed attempt?

I guess that would help!

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function setnshome(where){
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege('UniversalPreferencesWrite');
navigator.preference('browser.startup.homepage',where);
}
</script>
<a href="#" onclick="setnshome(document.location);">do it</a>

I get the correct prompt in NS, but it doesn't change it to the current page.

I've also tried

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function setnshome(){
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege('UniversalPreferencesWrite');
navigator.preference('browser.startup.homepage',document.location);
}
</script>
<a href="#" onclick="setnshome();">do it</a>

and that doesn't work either.

Have you tried using document.location.href?
I don't have NS to test it on at the moment, but I remember doing a similiar thing in IE and using document.location wasn't giving me the document's URL, but using document.location.href did.

Ah!

That appears to be it....

Thanks.

Anyone else doing some cool Netscape feature stuff online? I'm looking for ideas.

Strange. document.location should work, I thought. And I didn't think document.location.href would. Oh well. There's a difference between just location (window.location) and document.location (window.document.location), and the former, i thought, was the only one what supported the href property.
