    How to customise the IE icon that appears before the address?

    If you look at the address bar at Internet Explorer you see an IE icon before the address. Some sites have changed it and put their custom icon. How?

    From the source of mozilla.org
    Code:
    <LINK REL="icon" HREF="images/mozilla-16.png" TYPE="image/png">
    Works in both IE and Mozilla, but I think it must be a gif for IE, because at mozilla.org it doesn't work with IE.

    that's an icon that you put on the root of your site!

    and you need to call it

    favicon.ico

    Oh, ok.

    So put favicon.ico in your root for IE and the <link> tag in every html for moz, let it reference favicon.ico
