Drag and drop a Bookmark

Hi Terry
It's on Mac with the Opera browser. With Safari I get indeed the URL (?).

Thanks Marty,
That script works fine - with Safari. With Opera I get only the title.
On the other hand: when I drag the URL out of the browser (grabing it by the favicon) and drop it on the desktop, I get a file with the title as the filename (Safari) and the URL as the filename (Opera)???

By the way (LiveCode dictionary):
...The acceptDrop property is deprecated as of version 2.9. Setting the acceptDrop to true is equivalent to setting the dragAction to "copy".

I have to do more research tomorrow
