Safari Doesn't Support Dynamic Bookmarks?

Working on a Web project, I've discovered that Safari doesn't support dynamic bookmarking. That is, you cannot implement a script or application that will automatically bookmark a page. Firefox executes our custom JavaScript to handle that task but Safari just sits there when the user clicks on the link to activate the script.

That's lame. Every other browser that we support handles it just fine.

The good news is that since we're working with NOLOH, we don't have to sweat this. We just code our app one way and NOLOH figures out what to do with each browser. In this case, it reminds the user that he has to press Ctrl-D (and who came up with that combination?) to bookmark the page. Like I said, lame.
