favicon.ico

Here's  the magic from mozilla's homepage.

The "link REL="icon" HREF="images/mozilla-16.png" TYPE="image/png"> line
is the key.  Links to an image like the line above it links to a
stylesheet.

>From Mozilla site...

<head>
<title>mozilla.org</title>
<link REL="stylesheet" HREF="persistent-style.css" TYPE="text/css">
<link REL="icon" HREF="images/mozilla-16.png" TYPE="image/png">
</head>

end Mozilla's stuff.

Glad you asked, now I know how I'm going to use that on my pages!
