ive noticed lots of sites when i use opera have a little icon to the left of the address bar: and i saw this frog when i was uploading the first 2 They look quite cool and since i dont know what they use (php or html etc)to get there im asking here if anyone knows how to get them?.(another reason is that most of the forums are hiding under a complicated sub-folder sort of thing) Thanks in advance
It's called favicon.. You need to have a program in which you can make files with .ico extension... You need to make the icon, its size is 16x16 save it as favicon.ico and upload to your web directory. then add <LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="favicon.ico"> in the head tag and the favicon should appear..
krap, Ckeck out the tut over at trap17's sistersite. "Astahost.com". Theres a good tutorial there. I think "Homer" is the author( or one of the posters- can't remember which). NilsC turned me on to it Just search for "Favicon" when you get there. Hope this helps RGPHNX
All you have to do is open photoshop, fireworks or another image editor, and make what you want to appear there in a small size (I Think itīs 16x16 or 32x32 pixels. Donīt know if both of them are correct, but I have one of 16x16 in my website and it works). You have to save that as a .bmp file and then rename it to .ico
Normally you pick your logo and resize it to smaller one, but you have to make sure that your logo will be crearly visible with that small size. If not, youīd better try with another thing that is representative of the site.
The favicon appears in Mozilla and Netscape-based browsers and Opera, but also in explorer when you bookmark a page.
thanks for the fast reply. do you know what program to use to make the .ico files or even better an online one where you upload and convert? thanks
The small image next to the address is called a favicon.
You don't have to download a program or anything to convert your images to a favicon. You can use an online tool by html-kit at http://html-kit.org. All you have to do is look for an image from your hard drive, and press Generate FavIcon.ico. Then, you can download the generate .ico file in a zip, and use it in your website!
Thanks guys i did it i think the reputation will go to Sprnknwn as he told me how to make it using paint.. which i found useful If ya want to see my icon Click Here
That is a good site! I always go there when I want to make a favicon. They will automatically create the favicon for you, and then they give you the code to add to your website as well!
Well you know what? I have always been wondering about that. I always thought it was pretty cool but never knew how they got there. I was going to ask but I guess I forgot. I might try to make one over Thanksgiving Break. It would be pretty cool.
I have just noticed another side effect of the recent server migration. On my web site I have a
comment form. After filling in the form the user gets a confirmation email and I get an email to
tell me someone filled in the form, and showing me the data that were filled in. First of all, I
got all emails twice, but I think I managed to fix that in the PHP code. What is worse, though, the
user still gets his/her confirmation and thank you email, but, instead of my email address, the
From: field now gives an aaddress on the server my account is on, ie. the gamma server. D....

The question is elementary, as we all know that all those feared black hat hackers would go to town
on the opportunity of being able to access a PC remotely, but could someone really do something with
an IP address? Most people have a router with a firewall enabled, which deters most potential
attacks, but even then, the IP address you may receive most likely points to the ISP that the person
uses, since the ISP location itself assigns an IP address to the household. So am I correct in
assuming that in order to attain a particular machine's IP address, you would ha....
Hi, first of all, a very Happy New Year to everyone. Now for my problem: I use Win XP SP2 on a 2.8
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....
I just noticed while browsing thru some subforums here in trap that the icons for the threads
don't specify if I have made posts on the thread. I've been to other forums and they have
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
just my observation anyway. What do you think?....

How many of you experienced this? QUOTE Unable to renew IP address Unable to start RPC service
You invite a broadband service, i.e. Verizon DSL, and they provide you with an installation disk.

Spam bots often 'scrape' pages to glean information and collect email addresses. I don't
like that. To combat the Bots from collecting my address off of my site, I wrote a script that
includes 'obscures' the address in several ways. It adds 'AT' where the '@'
sign is and then replaces the '.' with 'DOT' so it is humanly readable, but not by
the Bots. Also, it encodes the 'mailto' and the address used in the 'mailto' so it
shows okay on the web page and on:hover, but it is actually encode into hex value....
Well i got to know about method of changing the hard drive icon, thought i should share it with you
guys. Well he goes. First what you have to do is find Icon files that you may want to put on your
hard drive. These files are basically of ".ico" extension so a simple search for "*.ico" (remove the
"" when searching) in you computer will generate results with various icons you can use. You
can also create new icons with an icon editor. I use the 'Easy Icon Maker' available from
this website http://www.icon-maker.com Well now assuming that you've got ....
