Another 'nother CSS Question

[ThatBlockishWay]

Is there a way using html/css to make it so that accesskey= 'x' triggers the  bookmarking of a page? If so is there a way to make said bookmark fall into a specific folder? (I feel like it'd require java..)

I ask because Im trying to use as much css/html as possible to make a webpage based game and using bookmarks as a save mechanic would be very useful

yes with javascript, look at this link https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3024745/cross-browser-bookmark-add-to-favorites-javascript, but not with plain html

Not possible. You could tell the user to press CTRL+D, but that's it.

I dont know enough about js to understand how to use that.... Im just starting to get somewhat confident with html...

It looks useful though

Im still tryin to figure out the best game mechanic, would you guy says using bookmarks for the exact page would be best or just a general load screen with rough locations fairly close to where you left off? If its bookmarks is there a way to also make the page reference the list of bookmarks you've made on a page itself or is that outta calibre?

I dunno, I got some ambitions with this and Im trying to get a feel for what is and isnt possible for machanics

That might be an option...

localStorage might be a good option: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/localStorage

 

Bookmarks won't preserve page state.

Its just a choice based game anyway. Look at photo, read text, make choice, repeat kinda thing (each choice links to a new page)

Oh, then bookmarks should be OK if it's on different pages. No modern browser supports bookmark adding via the web page anymore, so the only thing you can do is to ask the user to press CTRL+D

Okie, is there a way to reference the list of bookmarks you've added? Im trying to make it uber immersive and having a page you can pull up that just lists all the bookmarks would make it all fancy

Not possible with bookmarks, unless you wrap the game in an extension or something. You can do this if you use another method to store saves, like localStorage
