dren68 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Does anyone know how to create the little icon that shows up in the url/web address field? And, how do you get it to show up? Is there a code for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justsomeguy Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Make sure that the favicon is the correct format. A BMP file renamed as an ICO is not an icon. Icons have a specific file format, which you can find explained through Google, and there are also websites that will create the file for you if you upload an image. In particular, the favicon is a 16x16 icon, and I believe it is 256 colors. But again, you can find specifics through a Google search, there is a lot of information out there.

applejay Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 the weird thing is, at my home computer, i couldn't see the icon, but at my work computer today, i was able to see it. I'm using the same Avant browser too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
