Ok, I'm not sure of the correct title for these, but you know the little icon in the IE location bar? ResExcellence has its own rather than the default IE one. How is this done? I've searched but since I prob. don't have the correct name for it I'm not getting anything. Thanks!

Actually I believe it only works with IE Windows and Mozilla... ResExcellence actually posted how they did it. I believe it involves putting up like an icon.ico at the root directory? Or something... search and you will find.

Yeah, Mozilla shows it fine, thats what I was using. Thanks for the help!

There are two ways to do this, actually.

The first is to create a Windows .ICO file, name it "favicon.ico" and put it at the root of your document tree.

The other way is to use a LINK tag:

&lt;link rel="shortcut icon" type="mime-type" href="url-of-icon" /&gt;

Now, you might be wondering what that type field is for with the MIME type. The thing is, Mozilla supports more formats for its favicons than just the .ico format. You could of course use GIF, JPEG, or PNG, but if you really want to be 31337, you can even use animated GIF or MNG. These would only work on Mozilla, but there's a way to specify different icond for Mozilla and IE, using this LINK tag. To do it, change the rel to "icon"; IE won't recognize this but Moz will. Put it after the "shortcut icon" LINK tag and you can specify one icon for Moz and another for IE.

Awesome, thanks for the tip!
