I see alot of websites have icons that appear in the address bar.  How do you do that?

I believe you need a favicon.ico in the main directory of your site. It's as simple as that.

Really?  Let me try that...but I'd need to locate my harddrive and somehow pull the data off.  I need another usb hdd enclosure.   :laugh:

I  think it will work regardless, but if you put this in your <head> section of your site you can specify a different filename:

Code: [Select]
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />

I'll check that out once I get a page up.   :cycle:

The href doesn't have to be an ico, I use a jpg on mine. I'm not sure if the "rel=" part needs to only have "icon" in it, but here's what mine is, and it seems to work:

Code: [Select]
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="sidephoenix.jpg"/>
Might not be standard, but I think browsers are pretty forgiving.
