[users@httpd] Logo in the browser location bar
Dear all,
several sites are able to display a logo in the left corner of
Mozilla's location bar (the place where you type the URL).
Does anyone of you know how one can set this logo per web page?
Thanks for any hint!
wbr,
Lukas

No that is correct. The <head> statement is above the code
that I have listed. If I remember the way the favicon site listed
the code was as it is listed below.
If it is wrong, someone please correct me.

Ok.. A favicon is a small ico file that is in the same directory as the
rest of the HTML code you send to the server.
</HEAD>
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="favicon.ico">
<BODY LINK="#008000" TEXT="#000000" BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" BACKGROUND="backgrnd.jpg">
<P ALIGN="left"></P>
The code above it what is used for setting up the icons. The file needs to be really small. Here is a link
that gives the information on how big the icon should be, and what is needed.

Thanks for the hint!
Unfortunately, this page does not explain what a favicon is and where
to include such that it gets displayed. I assume the favicon.ico must
be located in the same directory of the page. In which format is the
multiresolution image?
More informatin can be found on www.favicon.de -- in German, and of
course on http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/links.html#edef-LINK
(thanks for the keyword to look for!).
Kind regards

That is a good idea. What program do you use under OS X??
Yes and no drifting off topic.. It is good to know that there is
other ways of creating the icons. You do not need to spend
money to do so..

Its just the windows icon format...you can create them using a multitude
of tools - I use Graphic Converter under OSX...but we have drifted off
topic I guess.

That is called a favorite icon. It is done with in the HTML on the page. If you want
to use it, then you need an icon for each page. http://www.favicon.com/
The link will give you a way to create the icons, and what is needed for HTML code
to make it work.
You need to understand that it does not always work. They are kind of a hit and miss
on sites. I know that IE only will display them about 10% of the time (if lucky).
Mozilla, is better at dealing with them.
A note: The favicon site use to have a way to create icon online. It appears that it has
been disabled. So you need to buy the software before you can use it.
TO ALL: Please go to the site and vote YES that you want the icons in Mozilla.
I guess there is talk (From the site) that Mozilla is going to stop supporting this
feature in future releases. See Below:
**** VOICE YOUR SUPPORT FOR FAVICONS TODAY! *****
Mozilla (and potentially Netscape) is deciding whether to enable customizable bookmark favicons. They already allow favicons in the address bar. Remember, this is important because AOL will be switching to a mozilla based browser soon. To vote 'YES' visit the following sites: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113574, http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143687, and http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116832. Scroll down to 'Vote for this bug.' (or do a text search on it) You need to hit 'Vote for this Bug.' If you don't have an account, create one (it only requires a valid email and name). A password is then mailed to you. You can then login vote for what you want in the next versions of mozilla/netscape. Thanks to your support, we are now a top 20 feature request!
