this feature is independant of the ASP.NET, but rather requires the correct browser support.

do i have to do it through coding or .........??
no. simply put the favicon.ico file in the web server root, and add the following line into your html files, ie into the <HEAD> section of them:
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.mydomain.com/myicon.ico">
favicon.ico.......where to get that file........is that different than the icon i need to show in address bar
>favicon.ico.......where to get that file........
you have to create that file, using an Icon Editor program (a picture editor that can save files in .ico format)

>is that different than the icon i need to show in address bar
I don't understand that question?
the icon file you specify in the LINK REL ... line has to have the same name as the file you actually created...
okie
favicon.ico......it is a image file having ico extension. Is that favicon.ico is the file that shows up on address bar

Im confused coz u used 2 diferent ico filein your post Date: 11/04/2006 10:53AM PST

i askin u if favicon.ico and myicon.ico is the same file or not.
sorry... the same LINK REL indeed was copied from a sample that used myicon.ico... replace that with favicon.ico , and indeed the favicon.ico will the image file that appears in the address bar.
that all i want ... cool man ...i cant check this thing in working condition now as im not in ofice. I willgive you your points whenever i make it work for me. The other thing........is that possible to make an animated favicon.ico........???

And the last thing is ...is there any way i can scroll the TITLE of the html page
