Favicon link in hidden input field?

[Chuck Anderson]

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?

I'd say it's HTML.

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.

Was trying to avoid posting the url to a site that hot links to mine:

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

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