I use Mozilla Firefox and every time I go to a big name website they have there icon up by the address bar. For example when I go to ESPN.com they have a big red E up there.

what he's referring to has nothing to do with scripting. it's called a favorites icon, and all the website owner has to do is stick an icon (16x16 bitmap) in the site root folder named "favicon.ico" and the rest is automagic.

I run Firefox on the home puters and CBRF is set up for a favicon ...
See the little dude in the red leaned way over on the black CBR? Can't help you with IE cause it sux. So if you're running Firefox it should show up o.k. for you.
