You could theoretically have the user click a link which recorded their bookmark request, then once that is completed, output the javascript to prompt them to actually do the bookmarking. However, since this is Internet Explorer only, it is not recommended, and also most users bookmark pages wherever they want, not by clicking a link to bookmark pages.

So, in short, there isn't a reliable, consistent, cross-browser way to determine this.
I currently use the javascript you are referring to and I see the javascript file in my logs but but I'm sure this is because of page impressions.

Thanks for your info
