Webpage Icon
You have most likely seen all the webpages that have that nifty little
icon that shows up in the address bar next to their URL or on the taskbar
window button depending on your browser. You probably thought it was
something really hard to do, but hey, it's actually an HTML one-liner.
Here it is:
| Example Code |
|---|
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.mydomain.com/path/to/icon/myicon.ico" />
|
A couple of things to remember when using this code is that first, the path
that you put in for your icon must be a fully qualified, absolute path. In
other words, you must put in http://www.your-domain.net/something/icon.ico
You can't just put in /images/favicon.ico. Where do you put this HTML tag?
It needs to go within the <HEAD> tag. Here is an example.
| Example Code |
|---|
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Page Title here...</TITLE>
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.mydomain.com/path/to/icon/myicon.ico" />
</HEAD>
<BODY>Page contents here...</BODY>
</HTML>
|
So there you have it. Not so hard is it? Now the only thing left
to do is sit down and create a cool icon! ;)
