icon in browser address bar

[developer]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to add an icon to the url in the address bar in the
browser?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Greets,

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico">

Change the URL to your own .ico file, and add a closing "/" if using XHTML.

Just realised I was reading comp.lang.javascript (not alt.www.webmaster,
as I thought I was!), so I should add that this isn't actually a
Javascript question ;)

With FireFox and some others
you just need to :
- have an icon in *.ico format (not in bmp suffixed ico !)
- name your icon : 'favicon.ico'
- place this icon at root of your site

No need to code '<link ... blah />'
in your pages

But you can also have an icon in other graphic format, Firefox and some
others browsers accept it if specified in tag link
ig type="image/gif" ...

About IE and icon in favorites ... works + or - well.
