Why not just copy the url from the address bar, then go to your site and use that text box (form field) you were talkin about having and paste the url then click "submit". Then it's saved in your nice little url holder / bookmark warehouse! :) Then your not trying to do anything "fancy". Like you know, cook you breakfast in the morning, or say pull every email you have out and read them and toss the ones you don't want while systematically forecasting your stock market results of your IRA from the night before.
