It's called favicon [en.wikipedia.org]. It's basically a 16x16 image with 256 colors (sometimes extended with an additional 32x32 image) which is stored in the Icon format under the name of

favicon.ico

in the root folder of the website.

Query your favourite search engine for it, and you get lots of results.

Also do a search for "icon" in the context of "browser". For instance, my pages contain the following line in the HEAD section:

[3]<link rel="icon" href="purple.png" type="image/png">[/3]

...where "purple.png" is the name of my "icon" file. If you were to visit my site, a little purple and gray graphic would show up in the location bar at the top of the browser window.

Note: The "icon" file is separate and distinct from the "favicon.ico" file. The former is used by, for instance, Firefox to put a graphic next to the URL; the latter is used by Internet Explorer to dress up a "My Favorites" bookmark listing.
