In Apple Safari, next to the URL you often get an image for the site. Anybody know how you do that?

its called a favicon and is not restricted to safari - many browsers use it.

Two ways:

Save a 16x16 image called "favicon.ico" in the root of your web host.

Add <link rel="shortcut icon" type="<image type>" href="/path/to/favicon.image">

I used:

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="icon" href="ud.ico">

why isn't working?

For plain icons, try dropping the type attribute:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="ub.ico">

You'll need ub.ico to be in the same directory as the page you are referencing it from.

sorry, it did work, this'll sound kinda stupid, but i was looking at a page that I hadn't actually added it to (mix up between homepage, and logged in home page).
