ImportExportFavorites Method

Imports or exports Favorites information.

Syntax

window.external.ImportExportFavorites(bImportExport [, sImportExportPath])

Parameters

bImportExport Required. Boolean that specifies one of the following values:

true Import is requested.

false Export is requested.

sImportExportPath Optional. String that specifies the location (URL) to import or export, depending on bImportExport. If a value is not provided, a file dialog box is opened.

Return Value

No return value.

Remarks

Confirmation is required before the import or export begins.

All favorites are uploaded to the server when exported, and it is recommended that the server be configured to erase previously stored favorites before accepting the updates. Favorites imported from the server merge with existing favorites on the client. Deletions on the server do not propagate to the client.

This method is not supported in html applications.
