In alot of websites i see, they have custom little icons, like trap17, im using IE and in the little browser bar on the left on the home page, itts a custom icon, and its the same thing in my favorites menu, some sites with just regular ones is the little E with the page in the backround, and i was wondering how do you get it custom?

A search in Google on 'favicon' will tell you what you need to know.

you can do it with many graphic programs - photoshop, paintshop, fireworks etc... but i think you have to save it as a .png.

CODE <link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="icon_name.ico"> Place this in HEAD section. But this is work only when someone add you page to favorites. SOMEONE know how to do working icon even if site not added to favorites ? -------------------- Practice is when evrything work but no one know why. Theory is when work nothing but evry one know why. Programmers join Practice with Theory - nothing work and no one know why

That would be pretty neat. Or will that only work too if the page has been bookmarked? |
