Book Mark URL Icons??

Sometimes a litle icon representing a webite appears next to the Book mark
and the URL in the address bar, sometimes they dont. CNN has one for
example. Right now they've all dissapeared.

Any reason why they should come and go? And how could I get them to stay
pemanently?

 

Forgot to say i'm using Firefox 0.8

Thanks

 

This is actually a feature of the web page, not the browser.

Go to http://www.htmlgoodies.com/tutors/favicon.html to learn how to
make the icons.

courtney...

 

I was wondering why these icons seem to dissappear though.......

 

Becuase if the site doesnt provide one for the specific page, it wont be there.
Its simply an image, that instead of being shown in the 'body' of the site, goes into the title bar of such. If its not provided, then you wont see anything.

For example. If a page doesnt provide it, then it will never appear.
Even on a site that does have one, it may not appear on specific pages within that site because the web author hasnt added it to that specific page. With pages that are re-done constantly, or changed constantly (such as CNN) the web author may have elected not to add it to each new version of the page, or may have simply forgotton or neglected to add it in.

Do you mean *all* of them? The site http://www.cnn.com/ doesn't have an
icon. Check http://www.mozilla.org/ (which has an icon).
