How do you get the icons in favorites when somebody bookmarks your page??<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks In advance<br />

John<!--content-->Yes! A question I can answer! Those icons are called Favicons. They are .ico files that are pretty darn small. To make one for your site they can 16x16 or 32x32 or 16 colors to 256 colors. To enable the icon you made you must place the script<br />
<br />
<LINK REL="shortcut icon" HREF=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"https://www.mydomain.com/myicon.ico"> <br />
<br />
with your URL in place inside the <head> and </head> tags. Every page you put this on will enable your icon! Oh, and you're welcome!<br />
<br />
If this doesn't explain it well I'd be glad to re-iterate, I just typed a little fast there ^_^<!--content-->pretty close Jason, but you don't need the link for it to work. IE will pick it automatically if the icon is named favicon.ico and not myicon.ico<!--content-->Originally posted by scoutt <br />
pretty close Jason, but you don't need the link for it to work. IE will pick it automatically if the icon is named favicon.ico and not myicon.ico It will only pick it up if it is placed in the root directory of your domain (if you have a domain). If you have it located elsewhere OR do not have a domain (IE: using a free server or have a sub domain), then the link is required for it to work.<!--content-->sorry, I thought of that after the fact, thanks Ian for adding it<!--content-->
