I've seen this on many sites, including DD... How do I get the Favicon so that no matter where I am in my domain, it shows the Favicon. I have a hunch it's in the .htaccess file...

If anyone can tell me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

just add a link to it in the <head> of every page. make sure that you use an absolute path, or root-relative path, to the image (or the correct relative path).

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

I meant even if it's an image or a text file...

For example, if you open DD's stylesheet: http://dynamicdrive.com/ddincludes/mainstyle.css there's still a favicon.

Thanks,

For some browsers, it's enough if you just name the icon favicon.ico and put it in the root of your domain.

Good luck!
