How do I set the little icon that appears in the address box in visitor's browsers?  You know the little tiny one next to the URL that usually looks like a page or something similar, but for some sites comes up as something different?

Here's an example site with one:  http://www.drive-ins.com/showing.php?code=ohsund

(OK, it shows up in Mozilla & Netscape 7, but not IE.)

What size should the icon be?

FYI: Free ICON editor at: http://www.hodder.cc/documents/

Interestingly, I put the icon file up, and using Mozilla Firebird, I see the icon when I go to www.mittenartworks.com, but not when I go to mittenartworks.com .  IE 6 behaves the same way.  Works in Navigator either with or without www, however.   Any clues on this?

You can put this code into your head and load any icon you like;

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/icon_name.ico">

where "/icon_name.ico" is any ico or gif

  gifs work too but they must be small.
