you make an icon and save it as favicon.ico I think, it’s a while since I’ve done this, that makes it work sometimes but I think othre times you have to make a link to in your header, something like this :cool:

it’s a basically a bitmap, it’s just that graphics packages like photoshop can’t export a file with the .ico extension. have a look for ‘Iconforge’ (think it’s a free trial, can’t remember??), make your 16 pixel x 16 pixel graphic, save it as favicon.ico and upload it to your root directory…

Thanks all, and no it’s not… but it didnt really fit anywhere else. Now i know how its done i spose it could have gone in server side… I probably could have assumed that really. I’m sorry, please don’t hit my face.
