Correct format for url bar icons?

Postby iamshawnrice » Sat Oct 25, 2008 7:54 am

Hi.

I am developing a website and I would like to add a custom graphic for the url bar (such as the 'Y!' on yahoo.com, or the black/white/orange melting mountain that appears in the left side of your URL bar right now.)

Any idea what the proper size/format for that is?

It has to be 16x16px, be careful with png transparency as usual because IE6 doesn't display it correctly.

The file has to be saved as favicon.ico and uploaded to your web root, and in the head of the html include this:

Code: Select all

<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
just hand over the chocolate and nobody gets hurt
