    Animated favicon.ico files!!??!!??

    Hey, web designers:

    I don't know how this happened. I just wanted to share this for those of us who marvel at such things.

    I bookmarked the Photobucket page that hosts the animated Peace sign smiley I made

    When I open the page or look at my bookmarks menu, it is the favicon!

    Have a look:

    It's a gif file!!

    It's 24 x 24... not 16 x 16!!

    I did not think something like that was possible!!

    Just sharing.

    I was using the new Firefox browser.

    I tried it on Internet Explorer.

    No Go.

    Here is a quick video for those who can't see it!

    The hourglass cursor is from the screen capture program running.

    I'm curious if this can be duplicated, or if it is just a glitch.

    Have fun.

    MOO!

    That's completely awesome! Too bad I don't have Firefox...

      Nope, no firefox here. I know some other web pages I go to are supposed to include a special icon like that, but they almost never show up (as in, I think I've seen it happen only two or three times).
      "What if like...there was an exact copy of you somewhere, except they're the opposite gender, like you guys could literally have a freaky friday moment and nothing would change. Imagine the best friendship that could be found there."

        Yeah firefox has this new thing where when you goto a picture link, the favicon is also the picture, of course since the beginning Firefox has had the favicon thing, and I would imagine IE7 probably will as well, though I will be sticking with Firefox. But the picture thing just came around version 1.5 or so.

        If you are able to edit the <head> tag of you pages add this to it

        <LINK REL="shortcut icon" HREF="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b41/Rodak/peace.gif">

        to make it the favicon of your page.

          WOW!

          I knew that code, and used it before, but the Tutorial where I found it said that it only worked with 16 x 16 .ico files!

          Good to know it works with other files too.

          Thanks!!

          MOO!

            Yeah it does (wasn't actually sure it would). So I guess it just resizes images now to fit. I tested it out with a local html file I had. I would imagine you would want to keep the image kind of small though to limit bandwith usage, but that goes for every image.

              That is really cool. If I were to have a website, that would be pretty useful (since I can't make .ico files).
