Hey,

Well you first off need to create the facicon and save it in the root of your site then in your page put the following:-

<link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="favicon.ico" />

Within the Head Tags for it to work

Hope that helps

Yep.. Basically save a 16x16px gif as "favicon.ico" add ^ to your head and you're good to go. Make sure to clear your cache in Firefox the first time after and you'll see it pop up :)
 
you can always download a program to change a .jpg to .ico
Do a google search like .ico changer or something like that.
that help me out a lot.

There's a really cool plugin for PhotoShop that let's you do pretty much everything with icons, but if all you need is a favicon there's no reason to go that far. Like I said, just rename a 16x16 gif to .ico
 
ok , i used iconcraft to creat my icon, 16x16
the icon name is apd.ico


This is what i got in my idex page is this correct


<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="apd.ico" />
</head>

<body>

<div style="position: absolute; width: 599px; height: 207px; z-index: 3; left: 386px; top: 429px" id="layer4">

HAHA, just wait and see until I exercise my powers :D I really don't know why my name provokes some. I know the obvious reasons because it's similar to Admin but I don't see why could someone be provoked by it?
