I have not noticed this before, but if I am using Chimera, some website have their own icons in the browser address filed. Does anyone know how is this done? Is that some image file in the root directory? How can I create one like that for my site? Thank you,

Icons are fickle things, they have a habit of disappearring.

Omniweb seems to do nothing with them, at least not mine. Chimera is nice on the other hand.

Thank you,
