I'm using IE5 and some sites (like here, the forums) have a different icon in place of the bog standard E on the little white page... anyone got any idea how the hell you do them ? ta very.

lo m8y

the first thing you need to do is find an icon you like, i have a smily face for mine. it needs to be put in the root folder of your site, ie. the same place as index.html (or whatever you use as the default page)

this file needs to be called favicon.ico

this should then add this icon next to your site name when someone bookmarks your site :)

you can also use this code to add a clickable link which will allow the user to bookmark your site...


<script>
<!--
if ((navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE") > 0)
&& (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4)) {
document.write("<U><SPAN STYLE='color:black;cursor:hand;'onclick='window.external.AddFavor ite(location.href, document.title);'>Bookmark This Site</SPAN></U>");
}
//-->
</script>


hope this helps :E
