you need to make an icon called...favicon.ico simply, make a 22x22 (ithink) bmp, upload it to your server and rename it to .ico
next in the head,place this code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">
the reason it is called favicon rather than anything else is that older version of IE pick it up automatically ![]()
they show up by default in firefox too.
cheers, it was for my freewebs site and i am only new to this so that makes no sense whatsoever. Thanks anyway

I believe 16x16 is the dimension and the code is:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
