Inserting an icon to a webpage (fishfreek)
 
I dont know how to call it, but I have seen many pages that when you are browsing them, an icon appears on the address bar, or if you bookmark them, their icon appears in the favorites list.

If you use mozilla browser, you will see these icons in the address bar.

Jabbasworld, for example, has a black and white fish icon. How do I put this on my webpage? How do I set an icon to it? Thanks in advanced for the help.

you need to make an .ico (icon) file, you can get programs to convert bmp to ico files :)
it should be 16x16 pixels and all you need to do is name it favicon.ico and drop it in the root folder of your website (with the index page), IE and other browsers will then find it and display it in the address bar and also in your favourites list if you save that page link :)
