    What code do i need to create that little icon on someones favourites menu when they have saved my page to their favourites?

    If youre not sure what i mean this site has one when you save it to your favourites (as im sure everyone here has!)

    Thanks
    Jamie

    just make an icon 16x16 and name it favicon.ico, place it in the root and you are ready to go.

    Also keep in mind this is in the address bar if you're using Firefox for Windows, at least...

    Odd,
    As I thought it was Micro$oft that started them.

    I find them very useful for finding bookmarks, I think they're underused
