Icon in url bar

Hi all ; Can someone tell me how to put an icon in the URL of a web
page ? Thanks for any Help ;o)

first place a Windows icon file named favicon.ico in your root directory
(and other directories if you want because it might not be picked up in
other ones) of the web server (usually same directory as your default page).
then place the following in the head section of your HTML:

<link rel="shortcut icon"
href="http://www.yoursite.com/yourdir/yourfile.ico">

about the icon: it need to be 16x16 pixels and 4-bit (16 color) to display
correctly. you can use an icon generator like one found here:

Hope this helps

link rel="shortcut icon"
href="http://www.yoursite.com/yourdir/yourfile.ico"

My recollection is you need the mime type as well.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="../pathto/images/favicon.ico"
type="image/x-icon">

Use relative pathing, not full URL.

To create an icon use the above link, when you have created it and received
the e-mail with the icon, just put the .ico in the root directory of your
Web site.

NB. You might need to clear your cache before you can see it.
