It's called a favicon that some web designers use.

you make a small icon and name it something like fav.ico or something, i used one but forgot what the name was and put it in a special directory. once the page is added to favourites it will appear.



Google has one too. If this is what you're talking about i dont know

It doesn't work always!

@East

I'll find it for you! You can also DRAG the favourite onto your desktop and the icon will appear bigger, as a link to your homepage! Pretty cool. You need an icon converter, i'll search Google.

Did it last year, for once Computer magazines came in useful, notice the came, haven't since!

EDIT:

or go to google and type in 'favicon'

cheers

Okay, here's what you ACTUALLY have to do to get a favicon on your webpage (look for the little lightning bolt on mine if you want to see it working)

Firstly make a small (16*16 256 colour) bitmap image. Then convert this into a .ico named favicon .ico. Now upload to your server.

What you then need to do is place this code on your index page or any other page you want it shown on:
Code:
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

This presumes you've named it favicon.ico and it's in your root directory.

That's how mine works. If you don't put the code in browsers automatically search for the favicon.ico file anyway but older browsers (or browsers like mozilla, although firefox doesn't do this) require the code.

Hope that helps ya.

Edit: Whoops, the code was getting parsed. Should be sorted now.

Yeah I use one because webbrowsers keeps asking for it and my apache log gets full of errors. Firefox shows it by default, no need to ad a page to the favourite, IE needs to be in favourite
