It's a small graphic file named favicon.ico </p> <p>When you bookmark a site that uses favicon files the icon shows up in the IE favorites menu and in the address line.</p> <p>A few of things you should be aware of.</p> <p>1) It's currently only supported by IE 5+ No earlier versions of IE and no versions of Netscape or Opera support it.<br /> 2) It's temporary. The .ico file is like a cache file. It only sticks around for a while. Once it clears it's gone and unless somebody rebookmarks the site, it won't ever show up for that person again.<br /> 3) Check out <a href="http://www.favicon.com" class="bb-url">http://www.favicon.com</a> for further details and a really nifty little utility that lets you create your own favicon.ico file online.</p> <p>Just my 2 cents: It's a neat toy. But since it's temporary it's of limited value. Until there's a way to make it permanently linked to the bookmark so it ALWAYS show up it's not really much good.</p> Tue, 21 Dec 1999 21:25:00 +0000 Maverick comment 1014580 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
