picture icon on the address bar

[peacelover]

May I know how to add a small picture icon on the address bar such as the one found on http://www.webdeveloper.com/ and http://www.passionup.com/index.htm .
I notice that the icon is visible in the address bar of FF but not IE.
Is it possible to make the icon visible in IE too?
Many thanks in advance.

The only way a shortcut icon appears on a user's Favorites menu and Address bar in IE is if the user chooses to add your page as a favorite.

To associate an icon, insert this kind'a tag in your HEAD:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.mydomain.com/myicon.ico">

You should create an ico of 16X16, and put it on the site somewhere, (in my example at www.mydomain.com/myicon.ico)

actually the favicon needs to be in the root directory.

it can also be a .jpg, or .gif... even an animated gif...

this is at least true for firefox.
