Favorites Icon

shaneras · Jan 26, 2004

Hi Group,

How do I make it so my companies web page has a custom icon when you add it to favorites in IE? If it is added now it gets the IE icon, I want to add our companies icon (like Yahoo adds their Y logo icon instead of the IE icon) I am thinking it is in the HTML somewhere but cant figure where.

Also, does anybody know of a way so that when hitting a page you could have a button with checkbox's that says "Add <shortcut name> icon to..." and then it makes an icon to those items checked, desktop\quickstart\favorites? That way you dont have to type in the url in IE everytime you want to hit the page.

Thanks!
Shane

Shane,

If you add the following 2 lines to your

Code:

<head>

section:

Code:

<link rel=&quot;shortcut icon&quot; href=&quot;favicon.ico&quot; type=&quot;image/x-icon&quot;>
<link rel=&quot;icon&quot; href=&quot;favicon.ico&quot; type=&quot;image/x-icon&quot;>

And then create an icon file, which you place in the root of your website, that should work.

You can create icon files with many packages, but the best (IMHO) is Axialis IconWorkshop -

Hope this helps!
