How can I add an icon to the address-bar?
Is this specific for IE or is it possible for Netscape, too.
And is it just a html-tag (meta-tag) Or do I need to insert a java-script?

like the "F"-icon at http://www.freewebspace.net/

looking forward for your help.
Greetings Arno

guess the icon is just on the main page.
you need ie 5.0 or 5.5, i think.

if you don't see it, try to bookmark the page and than reload it or get it from your bookmark.

Thats usually what I have to do to get a icon to show up. Drag the default IE icon into the page and it refreshes with the new one. I'm using IE6 now though and the icons keep going back to the default on a daily basis :(

I'm using IE6 as well... I didn't need to shift+drag, I just dragged it and it worked. For some reason, it keeps switching back to default in the forums, though. Doesn't do that on my pages.

hmm
i'll stick with IE5...
updated my Windows Media player, and now it takes about 5 times as long (from 6 to 7) just to start-up, and the only better feature is that it looks better. Some things worse are: ads everywhere, unnecessary (and unremovable) task bars, and some functions disabled.

Same here, except it works without shift.
