A small correction, it is possible to use images with other extensions
as "favicon" for the address bar, but the "type="image/x-icon" must be
change to the extension that is used (i.e. type="image/png" for a .png
file).
"My experience is that they are not supported by IE. An example from
Mozilla.org
<link rel="icon" href="../../images/mozilla-16.png" type="image/png">
Works fine on Mozilla, but not in IE

It isn't working because you can't use a .gif image. You need to use a .ico
image.
Instead of posting back here to ask what a .ico image is and how you go
about making one, perhaps you could read some of the web pages mentioned in
response to your last post.

ok, I spoke too soon.. it only works in Netscape (N7..), not in IE,
believe it or not.. (www.francesdelrio.com)
(wonder if it works on a mac at all.. I'm on a pc, running Win2000..)
also I looked at code for various sites that have these icons (yahoo,
google, nytimes, cnn, craigslist, etc..) I don't see this code in them:
<LINK rel="shortcut icon" href="img.gif" type="image/x-icon">
so there has to be another way of doing this.. ok.. thanks again to
everyone.. Frances
