Cross Browser bookmark script?

I am trying to make an "Add to favorites" button and so far I have found:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex9/addbook.htm
which runs on all three browsers, but still counts one out: Safari.
Is there a solution for this?

Let the user decide and do it themselves; they aren't morons.

I don't see anything wrong with having a add to favorites button. I think this would be something good to know.
But I don't think Safari 3 has this ability. The only fall-back I can think of is alerting the user to do it manually.

True, but my client thinks otherwise.
That's the only script so far I've found to work with Safari as well, but it simply alerts the user.

so it seems Safari doesn't have a prompt for this.

Exactly why I find client-education the hardest part of the job ...
I do agree with Feyd, it's silly to replicate this behavior. A text-resize widget is something I might consider sometimes. But consider this: when a user doesn't know how to bookmark a page, he won't be able to find the bookmark anyway after he's used the bookmark widget.

Wow
Although this is painfully obvious I have never considered this before.
