anyedie Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 I finally decided to make a real website for myself, but after signing up with bluehost.com and uploading my pages I realized that the bluehost symbol was showing up in my url bar, and that got me thinking... What is that little thing? Does anyone know how to change it? To clairfy what im talking about, its the little symbol (for example the '5' in hak5) that is directly to the left of the url, in the url box in the browser. Quote
ezsrac Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Check out http://www.favicon.com/ i think that should answer your question :D As far as I can see its just a .ico file in the home directory? I may be wrong though! Quote

Shaun Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 You can also put this in your head section: <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="image_name.png" /> The image can be any type of image which the browser supports, but remember to chage the type. It isn't against W3C standards unlike's the Microsoft invented favicon.ico system (I think Microsoft's favourite pastime is breaking web standards. Most browsers support this, but IE 6 doesn't. IE 7 might. Quote
deleted Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 You can also put this in your head section:<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="image_name.png" /> Some Browsers (such as IE6) cannot support PNG Files there. All Browsers i know of support Icons though (even macs) Quote
Shaun Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Most browsers support this, but IE 6 doesn't. IE 7 might. IE6 is and always has been a broken browser. Quote

I've started telling people with limited amounts of ram (128-256) to use IE7 because of this. You can take windows down to about 180mb footprint without to much of an issue, but run firefox and your disk is swapping data like mad. Quote

I haven't used ie7, AT ALL! Quote
Shaun Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 I haven't used IE7 much and now I've broken it on this machine somehow so I can't check, but Wikipedia references this article and this article which suggest IE7 uses more memory. Quote
