can someone please shed some light on how to add an icon to a webpage that shows up in the favorites toolbar. thanks in advance!

edit: I have a favicon working and it shows up in the toolbar but not as an added favorite

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
 
It sounds like a favicon is what you're after.

Make a 16x16px favicon.ico file and drop it on the root of your site. From there I think it's pretty much up to the browser on if it keeps up with it for use in bookmarks and such.


edit: *points* NINJA EDITOR! :p
I don't really have much to help with what you've stated in your edit. favicons in favorites have been pretty hit/miss for me, but I cant say that I've ever really focused on it as a being a problem. What flavor of IE?
 
yeah..am thinking the browser and caching is responsible. mucho!

BAH!!!....firefox now works fine, ie 7 is being cranky
 
Try putting this inside your HEAD element:

Code: 
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon">
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon">
