Wa alaikum salaam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,
Totally kool! Nice icons appearing with the URLs (even appear in the address box on the browser too).
Good work (how exactly is that stuff done?).

I've had this board bookmarked since its birth!  I don't see any icons.

Wassalamu alaikum.

Assalaamu alaikum,

The favicon work fine. Arsalan, you need to add the site again to your favorites to see the icon. It is a nice crescent with a star! Cool. And yes, Jannah how did you do this?

Kashif, netscape 6 has too many bugs. I installed it once on my office PC but have removed it since. Use 4.7x for the time being. Here is a review of netscape 6:

slm,

heh.. sorry.. imma have to share the knowledge with my fellow brothers ;-D

< link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="favicon.ico" >

the icon has to be no more than 16 colors (i think... or maybe its 256 ??? ) and it has to be 16 x 16 ... make sure you specify the path of the icon if its different than the directory that the page is in.
