Easy "Add Page to Your Favs" JavaScript

Question

Hi all,
I created this script and thought I would share. Not sure if there is a better way to do this, but this is how I did it.
I wanted to create a link that would automatically add the page the user is on to the Portal favorites making easier to get to that page. Here is what I came up with. What is neat about this script is that you should just be able to drop it in a Text item or HTML portlet and it will just work. No coding other than maybe the formatting at the bottom.

===============================================
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
function add_to_favs() {
var ThePage = prompt ('What do you want to call your shortcut?','')
if ( (ThePage == null) || (ThePage == "") ){
alert('Shortcut not saved');
} else { 
var URL = location.href
var page_link = "/pls/portal/PORTAL.wwv_component_control.add_to_favorite?"
page_link = page_link + "p_module_id=4686602048";
page_link = page_link + "&p_name=" + escape(ThePage);
URL = URL.substring(URL.indexOf('//')+2, URL.length);
URL = URL.substring(URL.indexOf('/'), URL.length);
page_link = page_link + "&p_url=" + escape(URL);
alert("Your shortcut to " + ThePage + " has been saved.\n Click refresh after your click ok to see the link in your favs.\n " + URL);
window.location.href = page_link;
</SCRIPT>
<font color="#FFFFFF" style="font-size: 11px;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;vertical-align: top;" face="arial">
Add to Favs</font>
