Hey all,
Just wondering - you know the small logo that MacNN has - the yellow one with the tick in it, in place of the regular browser image?

How do you code pages to display this sort of thing?

Thanks.

Stick the following code in the header of your page ...

Code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/path/to/favicon.ico" />

Then create your icon (16x16 pixels, methinks) and convert it to ".ico" format (Graphic Converter does that, IIRC), and upload it to your server.



P.S. If you name your file "favicon.ico" and put it in the root directory of your server it'll be recognized automatically by most browsers.

Effgee beat me to it. And explained it more clearly in half the number of words.

One thing to add: You can use png's and other (non .ico) formats, but they won't necessarily work in all browsers.
