Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!! I can't find a tutorial on this anywhere!

To give an example of what I am talking about...go to ESPN.com in IE and you will see ESPN's logo displayed right before the url (and also in in your favorites list)...how in the world do you do that???

Thanks so much to anyone who knows!!!

I've actually been thinking about doing one myself.
What you're talking about is usually refered to as a "fav icon"

First... you need to create an icon graphic. There are lots of tools that do this. My favorite is QTAM Bitmap to Icon 3, but there are others. I hear that even photoshop has a plugin for this now.

Once you have the icon try something like this in the head of your document.

Code:

<head>
<title>My page Title</title>
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<meta content="My silly meta tag here">
</head>

Remember to change favicon.ico to the name of your icon file. In this example, you would keep the .ico file in your root directory. But this can be done in any directory off the root using /path/to/file/ type linking.

Hope that helps.

Enjoy.
