1 Hi again,
2
3 I learnt a lot about icons today. An a log about picky browsing
4 software.
5
6 Mozilla eats all types of shortcut icons, explorer does not. Explorer
7 only eats .ico.
8
9 The ico type has to be explorer compatible. The way I made this one is
10 to create a .png image in the gimp (or in gnome-iconedit) and then
11 convert it using 'pngtoico'
12 (http://freshmeat.net/projects/pngtoico/?topic_id=108).
13
14 Then put something like <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico"
15 type="image/ico" />
16
17 in the page and all browsers should play nice.
18
19 Just my two cents, kind regards,
20
