Icons In Ie Fav

[hungrylilboy]

how do you make an icon appear next to a page in fav or before the http://?

I am building a new site and want to add this in. How do i go about it?

You just need to put an icon file called "favicon.ico" in the root directory of your website.

Damn You ask a lot (That's a good thing)

First create a icon with a icon maker program it should be named favicon.ico and uploaded to Your site.

Then put this between the HEAD tags:

<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico">

That's about it....

Need more info just ask

bit boring really.
Its not for me, for someone else's site. Might make it into a smilie poking its tongue out or something for a laugh and see how long it is till they find out!

and.
because it hasn't been mentioned.
if it's anything other than 16x16 some browsers will ignore it.

i did 16x16 so thats no prob. What about colours? any probs with some browsers or just old pcs?

[sparsely]

well, of course, the fewer you use, the more backward-compatible it'll be.
16 color is what most recommend, but you can get away with 32, 64, or even 128.
Just that the more colors you use, the more crappy it'll look on older browsers/machines.
I just made a new one for my site today...before I even saw this thread

Hi. I just created a "favicon.ico" for my website, but I have a problem.

Using Netscape7.1, if I type in the actual URL of the site, the icon works fine, but if I type in the ".tk" URL of my site, the icon doesn't load up.

Also, it doesn't work at all using Internet Explorer (6.x)

Please help!
