Firefox page icon

[sweenster]

Using this page as an example - if you are viewing this page on FireFox you will see a green and black "CF" icon next to the URL. How is this done?

Hi,

It's called a favicon. In the root directory of your site, put an image that you make called favicon.ico which should be 16x16 pixels.

Hope this helps,

I have a little converter thing that converts .gif etc to .ico....tell me if you want it:D

You don't even need that, just change the extension from .gif to .ico

Should this favicon be able to work on most servers? I put one in my directory, and outside my directory, and it didn't show. Shared hosts or dedicated servers or virtual servers might play a role in it not being visible???

[gsnedders]

It doesn't matter at all what type of server it's running on, what software it running on, it's all client side...

[Digihead]

does the code for the page have to refer to the .ico, or should it just be put in your directory folder? mine is still not showing up.
