Title: OT - Those little webpage icons
Post by: EpF on March 28, 2005, 06:56:08 pm

Anyone know how to use those little web icons as outlined in red below:

Obviously some clever-clogs in J River knows!  I looked at the source and couldn't find a jpg, gif or ico in the text...  C'mon J River - howja do it?!

Just put a 16 x 16 icon file ion your web root directory and call the file "favicon.ico".
No coding needed on the page.

I am guessing that although you renamed the file correctly, you didn;t save it as a Windows icon.  Have a look at http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/favicon.shtml

OK, I got it to work! Thanks - I had to use a <link rel="icon" type="image/ico" href="..."> link to get it to show up in the tabs in FireFox (my browser of choice - check it out, if you haven't already...)
