Improved Netscape Voting for Your Site
Just like our earlier Digg and reddit buttons, we’ve also created a Netscape voting button. The button will only display for users to your site that have already been to Netscape.com. That way for most of your traffic you can save screen space, not confuse non-Netscape.com users, and simplify your site. However, you’ll still be able to provide an easy-to-use Netscape button to your Netscape-savy visitors.
Here’s an example of our Netscape button in action:
How to use the button on your site
In order to use it on your site, include the following HTML code where you want the Netscape button to appear:
You will need to replace [PermalinkURL] with the permalink to your post URL, such as http://example.com/post.html
Our button is based on, and displays, the original Netscape Syndicated Voting button.
How does this work?
The script only displays the Netscape button if www.netscape.com is in the user’s browser history. For details on how the script knows this, you can read our earlier post on the Digg integration script.
Compatibility
The script should work with anything that the original Netscape syndicated voting button works with, including Internet Explorer, FireFox, Opera, and Safari.
