this is best asked in the html group
(comp.infosystems.
www.authoring.html), since it involves only HTML (and
image editing), and no javascript, it's that simple... for general info
you might start here..
http://www.favicon.com/
(these little images are called 'favicon' because they're supposed to
appear mainly next to url in favorites list, but if you bookmark a site
icon also appears on location bar (next to url..) in Netscape, however,
it appears whether or not you bookmark the site.. (at least that's the
case for me.. on Windows 2000 & IE 6 & Netscape 7.. for ex. if you
bookmark my site,
www.francesdelrio.com in IE, you should see a little
smiley face next to address..)
you need to download an image utility to convert your image to an .ico
image (Photoshop unfortunately can't do this.. maybe soon.. ;), one of
which is called Irfan view, which you can get here:
http://www.tucows.com/preview/194967.html
in yr html file, in header (in betw. <head> and </head> tags), you put
following code:
<LINK rel="shortcut icon" href="images/myicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
and you're in business..
(icon should be 16 x 16 pixels..)
good luck... Frances

hi. may i ask some enlightened person out there to help me with a
very simple question? i noticed that some sites have images where the
nav bar usually has just text. for example, if you go to
http://www.adobe.com, you don't just see http://www.adobe.com, you see
that PLUS their logo on the far left part of the nav bar.
the way to do it must be posted as a tutorial somewhere on the web and
i've done some searches but i just can't find it. i know it must be
easy but i don't know where to find the tutorial.
if someone would just give me a url with tutorials on how to do it, i
can take it from there!
sorry for this simple question, but i hope someone will have the
answer i'm looking for!
thanks!
