faith 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2005 In alot of websites i see, they have custom little icons, like Xisto, im using IE and in the little browser bar on the left on the home page, itts a custom icon, and its the same thing in my favorites menu, some sites with just regular ones is the little E with the page in the backround, and i was wondering how do you get it custom?

That would be pretty neat. Or will that only work too if the page has been bookmarked? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clagnol 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2005 There's always so much misinformation spread every time the topic of favicon has come up, and it comes up pretty often.Kraam, it is an ICO file, not a PNG. Guangdian, I never have any idea what you're trying to express.The two dudes with code are both correct, but their solutions may not work for all browsers. Here's a cross-browser solution I learned a long time ago: <link rel="icon" href="http://domain.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"><link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://domain.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"> Make sure you name your file "favicon.ico". It definitely works for Internet Explorer and Gecko-based browsers [Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, Konqueror, generic Linux browsers, etc]. Be warned that IE is always finicky about these icons, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psychiccyberfreak 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2005 you can make 16x16 icons in MSpaint, if you make the canvas that size and save it as favicon.icothen you just put that in the www directory of your site and you're ready to roll! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
