I have created a simple speeddial HTML page for access to frequently used bookmarks, as in Opera.

I think someone has already done it before, but I wanted to share the html just in case. Note that you can change your homepage to this page in the web browser (Tools-Settings-Connection): Home page address should be stg. like:

file://localhost/home/user/MyDocs/.documents/speeddial.html
and "Use default home page" should be clear (not selected).

Here is the html, the values you should change are "value" and "location" tags' values.

Save the following as an html file with the name speeddial.html

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN">
<html> <head>
<title>Speeddial</title>
</head>

<body>
<h1></h1>

<table align="center">
  <tr>
    <td><input type="button" value="Go to Google"
onClick="window.location='http://www.google.com/'" style="width:
180; height: 100"></td>
<td><input type="button" value="Eksisozluk"
onClick="window.location='http:/sozluk.sourtimes.org/'" style="width:
180; height: 100"></td>
<td><input type="button" value="BBC"
onClick="window.location='http://news.bbc.co.uk/'" style="width:
180; height: 100"></td>
    </tr>
 <tr>
    <td><input type="button" value="Facebook"
onClick="window.location='http://www.facebook.com/'" style="width:
180; height: 100"></td>
<td><input type="button" value="GMail"
onClick="window.location='http://www.gmail.com/'" style="width:
180; height: 100"></td>
<td><input type="button" value="NTV"
onClick="window.location='http://www.ntvmsnbc.com/'" style="width:
180; height: 100"></td>
    </tr>
     <tr>
    <td><input type="button" value="Go to Google"
onClick="window.location='http://www.google.com/'" style="width:
180; height: 100"></td>
<td><input type="button" value="Go to Google"
onClick="window.location='http://www.google.com/'" style="width:
180; height: 100"></td>
<td><input type="button" value="Go to Google"
onClick="window.location='http://www.google.com/'" style="width:
180; height: 100"></td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    
</body> </html>

A sample screenshot is attached (though I took the screenshot in my Mac.)

ustunozgur,

Looks cool. I used this on Opera all the time on my old powerbook Mac.
I 'm really a novice on this so bear with me.
I followed your instructions and all I get when I open a new window is the text
inside the html file named speeddial.html.

Kind of funny.
I'm using n800 on os2008.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dan

@Dan: make sure that the extension is .html, not .txt. This might be an issue if you are editing inside notepad, you have to make sure "All files" is selected when saving the file.

ustunozgur,

I'm using Abiword on mac and it allows you to select .html and then a different menu pops up and I choose html 4.0. All I did was highlighted your code above and copied it then pasted into Abiword. Abiword is a free word processor for Mac.
My screen shot above shows it is saved as an .html file.
Any further help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dan

@dan: That's because abiword is a WYSIWYG editor. Try saving with Textedit on mac. oops it seems textedit still saves it like a WYSIWYG editor. You have to force it to render it as it is.

Better still do this: in abiword, save it as a txt file then change the extension in Finder.

ustunozgur,

Downloaded your zip. It works!!!
Very cool Bro.!!!
Now how do I change the menus. Abiword doesn't seem able to open your files. Any free program for mac that I can open and edit the .html file?
Any additional help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan
