I get the feeling that this is impossible, but is there a way to change what the url of my page will be if someone bookmarks it.
I ask because I’m running something in an Iframe, which isn’t reflected in my URI. I was thinking maybe I could keep track of where the Iframe is in javascript, and then if they try to bookmark the page, I can put that JS into the URI they bookmark.
Is this possible?
In short: no. Bookmark creation doesn’t trigger a Javascript callback outside of rare cases like Firefox extensions.
If you want to insure that all your page content is available in a bookmarked version of the page, you’ll need to add all the relevant state to the page URL. This could take the form of a session ID, encoded URL of the iframe content, or some other identifier, but it should be a unique, durable location, or else the bookmark will break eventually.
