Add to my sidebar for Netscape 6

//Netscape 6 supports an addPanel method:
//It is not a bookmark but a sidebar entry.
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function addToSidebar() {
        if (window.sidebar && window.sidebar.addPanel)
        {
                window.sidebar.addPanel("yoursite.com","http://www.yoursite.com/ns6sidebar.html","");
        } else {
                alert("Your browser do not support this feature.")
        }
}
//-->
</script>

//In Flash, you can use a getURL action to call the JavaScript function.

on (release) {
        javascript:addToSidebar();
}


//In your ns6sidebar.html (the sidebar file is a regular html file) you have add target="_content" to your links:
//i.e.
<a href="index.html" target="_content">Index</a>
<br><a href="news.html" target="_content">News</a>

//So that they load in the main browser window.
