Ah yes, the favorites icon.

I think the favicon has losts it popularity. It was in a couple of years ago but now people don't really bother with them anymore.

Ooh, I wouldn't be too sure Len. That question gets asked here very regularly, and I get people asking me all the time how to do it.
I'd say that there is more chance of it becoming a staple feature than a faded fad.

But is there any code you have to install in your page?

[mindlessLemming]

Yes.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.somedomain.com/somename.ico" type="something that i can't remember right now, prob. "icon"">

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="https://www.mydomain.com/myicon.ico">

You should specify the type 'image/x-icon' for the favicons as well in the tag.

hehe, that's what I was after
not type="something i can't remeber right now"

And the server needs to be configured properly to send .ico files with this mime-type, if I'm not mistaken?

[liorean]

Of course.
