Perhaps David knows of a better way to provide an icon identifier for a website? Surely the traffic is caused by ie5 not the favicon icon or the failure to provide one, and this should be taken upwith MS. I agree that a gif image would be better, icons require special tools to make. Perhaps a linux browser, even the Konqueror already uses a different system? Could one ensure that they were a suitable size with options for color etc....? For the present favicons remain a very useful means of identifying a site using an icon. As it is sites that use text, 'flash' or other mm and fail to provide a suitable gif/jpg image cause endless work for others, trying to link to them via an icon. jonathan chetwynd IT teacher (LD) j.chetwynd@btinternet.com http://www.signbrowser.org.uk
