I am not a big fan of IE, but at work I tend to use it also to check cross browser compatiblity, but anyways, I just noticed that on cnn.com, up in the address bar, instead of the little page with an e on it, you know like in the status window at the bottom as well, I was wondering, their site puts a cnn logo there. I know it is some sort of javascript but I am wondering how they do it, or the proper tag or whatever to do it with.
Anyone have any ideas how to change that icon, I wondered how cause I would like to use it for my own personal sites to add my own little logo, I guess to be cool like cnn.com

I'm pretty sure it's this tag:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href=/images/mycoolicon.ico>

You may need it to be in the <head> section. I also think you have to add the page to your IE favorites for IE to use the icon.

Hey woodchuck,

could you use that tag to do the same thing on Netscape or Mozilla?

IE looks for favicon.ico in the root of the server. If it finds then its get put in your favourites if you bookmark the site and used on the address bar.

Cheers.

PS hence great Apache errors like:
[Mon Mar 5 12:14:18 2001] [error] [client 62.6.214.175] File does not exist: /var/lib/apache/htdocs/favicon.ico
