Tab icons

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 14.2005

I am not sure how silly this thread may read to some but I was wondering if anyone knew how to make it possible for an icon to be displayed on a tab when the site is open.

For instance I have an MSN toolbar and when this site is open it displays the small yellow icon along with the name of the site that I am viewing.

How can I accomplish this on my site for others to see as well?

I trust it is quite simple to do but just not been able to mage to get working as of yet

Cheers and thanks in advance ?

Lifted from http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/head/link.html
The LINK element defines the doc relationships and REL defines a link relationship from the current doc to the linked resource.[/QUOTE]
