From what I know, they're called favicons and you put the code below in your <head> tag.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/favicon" />

Just put a 16 x 16 icon with filename "favicon.ico". Most of the servers automatically detect it and place them in the address bar.

For creating ".ico" file, you could use Gimp, a free image editing software. There are a lot of free icons available in the net too.....

Cool FavIcon Explained?

Can you explain Favicon simply, and explain how a web page can assume its icon? ie. What directory, or link is it under (example of how it is used in a web page)? What is the exact term used, etc...

I would appreciate help on this, and I am sure others would to, this should be an easy one to explain, thanks for your time...
