Address Icon

[Bee]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to display those icons in address bars please? For example: if you type www.phpfreaks.com, you will see a small icon just before the address.

Thank you,
B

Yes what you need to do is simply create/find a [b]favicon.ico[/b] file that you like and then upload that to your website root directory now when you go to any webpage you should see your favicon in the address bar.

It did not work for me. I think i am missing something.
Does the icon file has to be named favicon?
Does the only thing you do is uplaoding it your root directory or do you do something else to link it to the page?


Cheers,

the icon must be named favicon.ico or you could link to the icon file like...
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="favicon.ico">
