Fave Icon
« on: May 07, 2010, 12:45:40 AM »
Ever wonder how websites get that cute little icon on the tool bar or on you favorites bar?  Well wonder no more:

Add this to your HTML after the HEAD section (use whatever icon you want)

<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

This is how, for example, this forum gets the little weather scene as the  icon in the toolbar.

Actually, if you put the favicon.ico file in the root of your website, www standards dictates it should do that without having to use that code you reference.  Problem is, IE doesn't.  FF and Chrome do.

Leave it up to MS to break the W3 standards...  :?
