12 Jan, 2006 12:28 am “My Netscape” Bookmarks can't be edited [sdp=68686]  

Each time I add a bookmark to "My Netscape", it appears at the top of the list. The last URL code I entered (when setting up a new bookmark) was a bad address--"no such address". This somehow "jammed" the bookmark functionality as far as my being able to fix it or add any new bookmarks. I'm completely locked out (the bookmarks BELOW the faulty one on the list still work). The name of the new bookmarked site that I was trying to set up appears, but the faulty URL code appears as a BLANK. The Netscape system won't let me delete it, nor edit it, NOR can I add any new bookmarks. Any ideas? (I'm not a technical person). Many thanks.

AustinPaws,

Do you mean the "Bookmarks" section under your "My Netscape"?

I just tried it, and I can edit as well as arrange the order of bookmarks. Do you have JavaScript enabled?

Yes, the personalized bookmarks that I set up under "My Netscape". Of course, there are problems at Netscape right now and I haven't been able to get into "My Netscape" screen for two weeks now (get a screen that says it's down for Maintenance). However, I previously edited my bookmarks all the time with no problem. THis is an unusual situation because an invalid URL (that I copied directly from a newspaper's website) seemed to "jam" (for lack of a technical word) the whole bookmark section. I can use all of the other bookmarks previously set up as far as reaching the site I want, but can't edit anything nor can I delete the bookmark with the faulty URL--the URL shows as "BLANK" . Thus, I'm completely stuck and it's especially irritating because I can't add any new bookmarks to the list. I spent well over an hour in all the editing screens trying everything, but nothing works. However, I can't try any possible solutions just yet until I get the screen back! I was just wondering if this had happened to anyone else and if they were able to resolve it. Thanks.
