Do you mean a favicon?

If you upload the .ico file to your root directory, most browsers should automatically find it when somebody bookmarks your site. If you want to add code to your pages to make sure, you add a line of code in the <head> section:

<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.yourdomain.com/name_of_icon.ico">

He could also mean a regular image, do you mean inserting a image into a webpage?

Code: Select all

[img]url[/img]

all of it is correct but you can it with photoshop and adding hyperlink by photoshop

The correct code is

Code: Select all

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="type of your image" href="URL of your image" />

where the type can be image/png, image/jpeg, image/x-icon... depending to your image.

(In fact, the correct value of the rel attribute is just "icon", but the deprecated IE just can't understand...)

how do u make the icons animated?

RvB · Post by **RvB** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 8:55 pm

well i guess instead of using a ico use an animated gif of correct size. so instead of favicon.ico maybe favicon.gif but i dont know since i havnt tried it myself.
