Dear Computing net Team and friends,

Too much thanks from start...


I want to ask you a question about "How to Add a Shortcut Icon to a Web Page "........

I have created "favicon.ico" and put it to root directory..ok but ....

Q : The real quesiton is about the frames ---> I am using 3 frames(top-left-main) on my main page(index.htm=framesetfile,contains the 3 frames,...you know already, who am I teaching huh :o)) )


1.---->In which frame do I have to insert the text or image ,that contains link "add.favorites....etc." ???

Because, for example,/// If I put the linked text on top frame,when I addtofavorites, It only adds topframe.htm :o((


2.---->If 1.(above) is fixed -->How can I add to favorites using-clicking an image,not text ???


The last question ,,

3.---->I want to set the cursor as ""red.cur"" (when it's NORMAL=browsing page for example)

----> set the cursor as ""bad.ani"" (when it's WAIT,BUSY mode=generally, you know, like "hourglas.ani")

when it's browsing "red.cur" will be active and when it's busy "bad.ani" will be active...

How can I do this and In which frame do I have to put this css.style ,,could you tell me please ??????

THANK YOU TOO MUCH.....
please reply me from this adress... Umit Onal

1. Reference to favicon.ico only needs to go into your index.html as a meta tag, since that is the parent page which creates the frameset.

2. Since everything is in a frameset, I recommend you place all your styles into a CSS file, not within the HTML, then use a one line REL meta tag to reference that file within your page headers. In this case, the REL tag goes into all your sub-frame pages where you want this effect.

Having said that, do be aware that not all CSS will work in all browsers or versions, check with W3C to ensure you follow the correct coding standards for maximum compatibility.

Now my own question... why are you using framesets? This is not browser friendly, anyone using a text reader or console may have problems with it, so how will you provide for them?

It is also not search engine friendly, as the engines will only see the parent page, not the sub-page content.

I would recommend using tables and separate pages for each display, as the common content will already be cached so load times will not suffer.

You can place the following link around any object in your html - file:

A HREF="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite(url,title)"

(replace url and title with the strings you need. In you cases the URL should be the frameset.)

Note: not all browsers support this method.
