How to set the browser's home page/start up page?

Martin Honnen,
IE5 has a default behaviour for that while NN4 needs trusted script:
<html>
<head>
<style>
#oHomePage {behavior:url(#default#homepage);}
}
</style>
<title>Setting start page</title>
<script>
function setHomePage (url) {
if (document.all && document.getElementById)
oHomePage.setHomePage(url);
else if (document.layers && navigator.javaEnabled()) {
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege
('UniversalPreferencesWrite');
navigator.preference('browser.startup.homepage', url);
}
}
function init () {
document.gui.url.value = location.href;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="init();">
<SPAN ID="oHomePage"></SPAN>
<form name="gui">
<input type="text" name="url" size="80" value="http://">
<br>
<input type="button" value="set homepage"
onclick="setHomePage(this.form.url.value);"
>
</form>
</body>
</html>
