Question

Site icons?


First time posting to this part of the forum.

I'm basically design ignorant when it comes to the Web, but I've seen some cool icons appear in the address bar and on my tabs (Firefox is my browser of choice), and I'd like to add one I designed to my website. How would I do this?

Re: Site icons?


In your <head> you need something like this...

HTML Code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/images/myimage_16x16.ico">

Then if you are lucky it will work for you.

Using a png seems to work sometimes (not all the time) but I have had good luck with the ico. There are some other threads here about this subject if you seach the forum.

Good luck

Mark
