that is a favicon.ico graphic.

Usually a 16 x 16 pixel graphic that needs the .ico extention. There are several placed on the Internet for free that will make the graphic. Do a quick google search I suppose.

How would I go about adding it to my page? Or could you put me to a direct link where I could go to read about it...

[Karen]

Oh, to add it to your page you just upload it into your files like any other file or graphic.

so all i do is make a graphic, make the exention .ico upload it to my server and it will apear?


shouldn't i have to put a code in it to tell it to appear?

[Mark]

Favicon is also supported by Netscape now ... but who's using Netscape anyway? LOL! :D

The one thing I'll add (which I didn't see mentioned already, though it probably was), is that you want to upload the image in your root web directory (index area), not to your images (etc.) folder.

Mozilla also supports it.
