Drag and drop a Bookmark

[Marty Knapp]

I just realized I forgot to insert the script (time to go to bed!) This 
is to drag right from the browser to a field:

on dragdrop
    put url (the dragData) into theHTML
    put offset("<title>",theHTML)+7 into b
    put offset("</title>",theHTML)-1 into z
    put char b to z of theHTML into me
    put cr & the dragData after me --the URL itself
end dragdrop

One problem would be if there is no Title tag and the format of the tags 
may vary a bit.
