Favicon link in hidden input field?

I don't even know if this is css or JavaScript, but am curious to find
out how it's done.

Someone has linked to my site's favicon (from blogspot) via a hidden
input field:

<div class='blog-icon'>
<input type='hidden' value='"path to my"/favicon.ico'/>
</div>

Does anyone know how that works?

(..... I can not find the class definition.)

Funny you mention that, I had similar thing happen here, I just renamed the
local file and told the server to return 410 for the old image name.

Couldn't be bothered making a nasty replacement image -- a tempting option?

Dunno the value of having your icon URL as a hidden field though, is it ever
displayed?

input/@value is not a link. There must be some transformation to create
link from this.
Neither can we, if you don't tell us, where you found it.

Here's where blogspot tells people how to do it:

Here's a random example of its usage (view source - search for blog-icon).
