search for favicon.ico
These are small images stored in / of your webserver.

u mean like this

http://www.bohemeinteractive.com.au/

It only works in IE if you book mark it. If you clear your cache it stops working. You then have to bookmark the page again. In Mozilla and Netscape it works all the time.


You put this in the head section of the page.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="boheme16.ico">

You need an icon editor to make your icon (look in tucows.com). The icon needs to be 16*16 pixels and only 16 colours pallette is allowed.

Simply design a 16x16 bmp, save it as "favicon.ico", and store it in your main directory.
