tip : favicon icons

[sills]

for all of you who have web pages and the such, and see those neat little icons in the url address of webpages and would liek to get them, this is what you have to do.

get you picture file that you want. next save it as an icon file ( .ico ) at 16 by 16 pixels and at 16 colors ( not 16 bit ). nest name it favicon ( it will be favicon.ico with full extension ) and upoad to your public_html directory. now each page your users will visit will have that.

now, if you want different ones on some pages just enter this in the head part of the html.

[code:1:5dd4e13071]<link REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://mysite.com/myicon.ico">[/code:1:5dd4e13071]

hope this helps soem users.

Help Sills. I did that and mine isn't showing up. Not in Mozilla or IE.

Labby,

Did you put the link-code in the head section of your webpage?
I can see it in FireFox. If the icon name is favicon.ico FireFox will always display it, even when the link-code does not exist.
I can also see it in IE6 though, but remember you first have to add the site to your favorites before you can see the icon in IE6 (one of it's nice features ).

Bye,
Stef.
