Favicons

Does anyone know how to load a favicon or a picture in the address bar?thanks.

I did a google search for Favicon tutorial and found this page.

Many browsers look in the root directory for a file named "favicon.ico", so often you don't even need any HTML code but just put the file there:
http://g-b.dk/favicon.ico (if "g-b.dk" is your website)
and you can even "overrule" this in subdirectories if you have a different file placed in
http://g-b.dk/subdirectory/favicon.ico

You can also use one of these code snippets to specify the icon in HTML:
<link rel="icon" href="http://g-b.dk/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://g-b.dk/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

According to this, you should be able to save an image as a favicon using (free) Gimp.

Good luck,
