Favicon
- A favicon (short for "favourites icon" and also known as a shortcut icon, website icon, tab icon, URL icon, or bookmark icon) is a small icon shown before the webpage title.
- The icon is typically displayed in the browser's address bar, next to the website's name in a list of bookmarks, and in browser tabs.
- A favicon is specified using the link element in the HTML head section of a webpage, like so:
Syntax:
<link rel="icon" href="path/to/favicon-icon" type="image/x-icon">
- This line of code specifies that the file located at "path/to/favicon.ico" is the website's favicon and the file type is image/x-icon.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="icon" href="logo.png" type="image/logo-icon" sizes="16x16">
<title>Favicon</title>
</head>
<body>
