    Question about those icons that appear in the address window?

    If you look at the address bar in your browser window, you will see a little vBulletin icon. These also appear in your bookmarks when you have a cookie from those sites.

    What is that particular type of icon called? And how do you create one so when a user visits your website one will appear? I'm assuming it is cookie related, but I'm not sure how to go about adding one to my site.

    Thanks.

    create a 16x16 pixel bmp
    make sure to use 16 colors
    save as "favicon.ico"
    drop that file into the root directory of your site (the same place your index.html is located)
    open up your index.html and add the following line in the head section

    Code:
    <link REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://yoursitedotcom.here/favicon.ico">
    the end

              I would assume it's the same, the tag goes in the <head>, just dont put it within your <?php tags if you have any.

                Ok, cool...thanks. You're my personal hero this week, fyi. And I'm assuming there's supposed to be a close tag at the end, right? So it should be:

                Code:
                <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://domainname.com/favicon.ico" />
                I made the change to the code and it works now. THANKS!!!! :wub:

                  Probably because you use Yahoo Explorer.

                    New question related to those icons:

                    I'm using FireFox.

                    I have tons of URL's added as favourites. When a page had one of those Icons, the Icon automatically appears in the map where all your favourite websites are. [CTRL+B]. Is there a way to remove those icons?
                    I made a new icon for my personal website but in my "favourites" it's still showing the old one.

                    Ty
                    I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal...

                      try:
                      1) Remove your site from favourites
                      2) Tools>Options>Privacy>Cache>Clear
                      3) Visit www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico
                      4) Visit www.yoursite.com, bookmark it.

                      That crazy combination will almost certainly fix your bookmarked icon.
