Im sure most of us were curious as to How a small Icon appears in the address bar – next to the URL in certain sites.

So Here’s how we get that :

First Create an Image in JPG / Gif / BMP / Etc in     24 x 24 Px

Save it and Upload it in your Root Directory . I suggest not to upload it in any sub folder – although it might work.

And now in the HEAD TAG of your HTML page place the following code :
<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”imagename.jpg” />

* I’ve tested this Mozilla and Safari and it works fine . If in case you know of any other method of getting the Icon – Please share it with us !!!

If in case you copy and paste an e-mail address from your inbox into dreamweaver it normally automatically generates the e-mail link code . If it does’nt here’s what needs to be done . You will also need these codes if your editing in notepad or if your linking a word/ sentence to the e-mail .

example :
<a href=” mailto:example@example.com”> example@example.com </a>

As mentioned – you can also link text
example :
<a href=”mailto:example@example.com” > text example here </a>

To add Cc  :

<a href="mailto:example@example.com?cc=example2@example.com">example@example.com</a>

Similarly for Bcc :

<a href="mailto:example@example.com?bcc=example3@example.com">example@example.com</a>

To add SUBJECT :
<a href=”mailto:example@example.com ?subject=example”> example@example.com </a>

If your adding both SUBJECT and CC together then separate the two with an ” & ” between them.
example :
<a href=”mailto:example@example.com ?cc=example2@example.com&subject=example” > example@example.com</a>
