A small frivolous exercise -

Post #21,231 by Meerkat 12/12/01 6:30:59 PM Reply	A small frivolous exercise - Or, a completely pointless one. It's a mindless browser frill, but it would be kinda cute to have the (most revered!) LRPD gracing the little URL-icon thingy in Moz and/or IE and whatever other browsers support it. The Mozilla release notes had some examples of how it is done. <LINK REL="icon" HREF="images/mozilla-16.png" TYPE="image/png"> <LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="/images/global/branding/dellecomicon.ico"> As I said, reasonably pointless, but hey, it would be another step in the world-domination aims of LRPD Everywhere(tm). Or something. On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.

A quick check of The Reg reveals... <link REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="/favicon.ico"> I'm guessing that's the one that make IE do it's thing. But, umm, who cares? :) Anyway, yes, looking lovely in Moz, thank you kindly. Makes tabbed-browsing far too easy, with a nice big LRPD staring at me... On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.
Post #21,255 by admin 12/12/01 9:52:03 PM Reply	That's one way to do it. The other is to put a favicon.ico at the root, without the link tag. The Reg one is redundant, I suspect. I don't like the way the ico version turned out, so if someone else wants to take a crack at it, feel free. Regards, -scott anderson

But that's probably just over-doing it :) If i had the time/talent I'd play with the LRPDicon, but I guess others that do have the time and talent will come up with something very spiffy indeed.
