I'm sure what John ment was if it's possible to put the link on the webpage so that the user doesn't need to press the plus key.

Funny answers above. Chris asked if this can be done programatically from the web app. E.g. I put a big button saying "Add to home-screen" on my webpage, access it from Safari, click the big button, done.

Unless I misunderstand the question the answer is: press plus key in Safari, then "Add to Home Screen".

There's not a programmatic way to do this, however there are scripts which draw a user's attention to the fact that they can do it manually.

Add to Home Screen is one such option.

Mobile Bookmark Bubble is another.
