    That is called a favicon, firefox automatically looks for one on the root directory when it loads a web site. Though in IE you need to add a line to your <head>, something like-

    <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/ico" href="http://www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico">

    I found a link for you through google if you need more information:

    create a 32x32 pixel graphic, save it as a .ico (if you can't save as .ico then save as a gif and then download IRFANVIEW free s/w to convert it for you). Now that you have your image.ico file, simply add the following line of code to your webpages near you meta tags and you'll have a little graphical icon show up in address bar.

    <LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.yoursitename.com/myicon.ico">


    :rolleyes:

    u need to add this code in ur head block

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico"/>

    also, u can create a favicon using online favicon creators. Search in google and u will find one.
