How Do You Get The Icon? - The icon on web browsers??

faith
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.

yes.
but what do you mean?
just the <http://yoururl/favor.ico">?

why my ie don't get that?
that is using so much ?
oh i'm not sure.
then I think if you wanna made it.
it's simple
Photoshop can do it.

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

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 ?

Okay, that is cool, so does that mean, that if I added that code to my site, and someone put a shortcut link to it on their desktop, it would be the icon I choose? That would be pretty neat. Or will that only work too if the page has been bookmarked?

Hey dude... Do this.. :

CODE


<html>
<head>
 <title> Favicon.com - custom icons for your website!</title>
 [b]<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="favicon.ico">[/b]
</head>

<body>

Oh as referred to my previous post, any moderators or administrators please help me get that important line Bold if possible.
Thanks and sorry for double posting...

There's always so much misinformation spread every time the topic of favicon has come up, and it comes up pretty often.

Kraam, it is an ICO file, not a PNG.

Guangdian, I never have any idea what you're trying to express.

The two dudes with code are both correct, but their solutions may not work for all browsers. Here's a cross-browser solution I learned a long time ago:

CODE
<link rel="icon" href="http://domain.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://domain.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">


Make sure you name your file "favicon.ico". It definitely works for Internet Explorer and Gecko-based browsers [Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, Konqueror, generic Linux browsers, etc]. Be warned that IE is always finicky about these icons, though.

    Ghz dualcore P4 processor machine, 1 Gb RAM, 250 Mb HDD. Whenever I boot up, or even when I return
    to the bare desktop after having had a number of windows open for a while, my icons on the desktop
    are all blank ones, such as the ones you get when there is no program associated with a certain
    file. Then, one by one, they begin to get the appearance they should have, but it is a real drag
    which takes ages, and the PC is not very responsive while it happens. I seem to remem....

    customized icons for threads like if a thread is locked, active (hot topic) or if you have posted
    something there. I know some of you would think this wouldn't be necessary but I think it's
    important especially to prevent double-posting on threads, repeating threads and stuff. That's

    Browsers are probably the single most desktop application that evolved the most in the past few
    years. Up until Internet Explorer 6, browsers were simply browsers, an application that browses
    webpages. Indeed the internet itself hadn't changed that much. Then Firefox came and changed
    everything. But, the web has changed a lot too, enough to warrant a new version no. but browsers
    havent truly caught up yet. Sure Firefox, with all its extensions can integrate with various web2.0
    services, but its pretty superficial and flaky. We are expected Internet Explorer 8, and ....
