Any idea on how can I track users bookmarking event? I want to find out how many users are saving a specific page into their bookmarks, and every time this happens I want to call a callback function (i.e. AJAX) to store this data.

For what I know of JS this is not possible: I can initiate a bookmark creation, but this is not what I'm trying to do...

Even a jQuery plugin is ok. Thanks!

• javascript
• jquery
• bookmarks

• 2 If it's not possible with JS then it's not possible with jQuery. (And as a user I hope it isn't possible.) – nnnnnn Commented Jun 18, 2012 at 10:05
• Well, thanks. I knew that, but I'm not working with bookmarking since 1998 (times of popups & popunder) I wanted a confirmation :) – napolux Commented Jun 18, 2012 at 10:17
• Firefox has some functionality for this, but that may be the only one. developer.mozilla/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/… – ashleedawg Commented May 5, 2022 at 0:01

It's not possible. Bookmark creation is outside a web page's control.

I wonder, How CodeProject articles are showing the Bookmark Count then?

(See the 'About Article' panel @ right side for the Bookmark count) for example see this one
