Just post an address where you can receive donations, and add a link to bitcoin.org (http://bitcoin.org). If the user can send bitcoins at all, he can do it with an address.

Here's a related thread:

If you are looking for a tipping system, similar to flattr, you might consider adding a YouTipIt "junket" badge to your site.  For example:

Watch out for scams to steal your bitcoins as you spend/donate it  http://evilpacket.net/  (Is this vulnerability fixed now?)

One possible solution :
If the bitcoin client supported a standardized text block containing the address & amount, eg.
BCAddress=12hFuVrSpLaPeTxwGUoPXoTDuhFnDhxRu3,Amount=1.5BTC

then you could have a "Copy to Clipboard" link, paste it in to the bitcoin client, and click Send. Would make BTC easier to spent, as you wouldn't have to write in the amount.

Don't know how secure this is though, maybe someone can write a web script to snoop the clipboard buffer?

I tried to figure out what the most portable Javascript way of doing this is and wrote an article about it, here you go:
