icon/image in titlebar

[arenaTR]

I'd like to put a logo in the titlebar of my webpage. The one I'm talking
about is the one that's next to the URL in the address bar in both netscape
and IE.

Just so I'm clear, for example, on google's pages, next to the url in the
address bar, there is their logo of a blue "G" in a box. Does anyone know
how to do this?

Thank you in advance.

Look up favicon.ico in your favorite search engine and you should find what
you're looking for.

Re: icon/image in titlebar

The logo next to the URL and in bookmarks is called a favicon. Here is
a Website that explains how to create one:

Although that's a good start, a START is all that is. I find that the sites
that were out there (as of about 8 months ago, since I haven't looked since) do
leave a couple of things out.

There are TWO types of "favicon"'s .

1) The one that displays in the favorites/bookmarks page
( <LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="....filen ame..."> ), and
2) The one that displays in the location window of the browser
( <LINK REL=ICON HREF="....filen ame..."> ).

These need NOT be the same, although on my pages, they usually are. The above
constructs assume that one doesn't simply want to have a single default
"favicon.ic o" file for all pages for a site. Don't forget what happens to the
bookmarked copy when its file falls out of the browser's cache.

As for how to convert an image to icon format, how to add MIME-type support to
a web server, and the other related things, I will leave that to the web pages
that are out there.

Really? No one has ever reported that problem, and I've been posting on dozens of newsgroups for years. What newsreader do you use?

I just checked, and it's set to 76 characters (and has been).

I happen to be using Xnews, but you'll notice that Eric(in another
thread) and Lauri have both commented on this also, and they are
using MicroPlanet Gravity.

As Lauri pointed out, your postings are using
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable".
Here's an edited portion of a 1998 usenet posting regarding
"Word wrap in Outlook Express":
"Quoted Printable formats text as paragraphs, not as lines of text
like other encoding options do.... doesn't know how to display QP,
so its soft returns are displayed as =, and hard returns (which
force a new paragraph when QP works) are displayed as =20. When you
view your own outgoing QP messages, you see the text formatted properly
because OE can display QP. If you use any other encoding option
(Uuencode, MIME/None, MIME/Base64), the text is broken into discrete
lines of text of less than 80 characters."

Here's what your posting looks like in "raw" format,
including some of the headers:

I don't use Outlook Express, but here's some instructions
I found in a usenet posting:
=============== =============== =============== =============
In Outlook Express 6 you would do the following to get rid of
"quoted printable". If you are using another version of OE then
the method may vary somewhat from this.
=============== ======
In Outlook Express
- Tools (menu)
- Options (menu item)
- Send Tab
- Set mail sending format to "plain text" (radio button)
- Click "Plain text settings" button
- Set message format to "Mime" using radio button **
- Set "Encode text using" box to "none" *
* This is where the "quoted printable" gets set.
** You could click UUENCODE here but Mime is OK
(I believe) in this context.
You can also set the line break length here (set to somewhat less
than 80) & the delimiter used to mark sender's text.

Oh yes we have. I commented on it yesterday in
<Pine.LNX.4.53. 0307061744070.2 0708@lxplus086. cern.ch>
and I saw a couple of others mention it also.

Unfortunately your "X-Newsreader:" isn't even an ex-newsreader
(monty-python allusion intended).

FWIW I see the same problem in Forte Agent.

I meant during the first three years I participated daily in newsgroups, up
until yesterday. :-)

I think I found the setting in Outlook. Hope it satisfies everybody, and my
apologies for the faux pas.
