Some cool browsers - like Firefox - also support this tag in the <head> section:

This allows you to use an animated gif -- called favicon.gif in this case -- to replace the static favicon.ico
Here's how you do it (for a static .ico file):
There is lots of software out there that can save gif or JPEG images as an .ico file. A good free one is Irfanview.

This allows you to use an animated gif -- called favicon.gif in this case -- to replace the static favicon.ico
Here's how you do it (for a static .ico file):
- Make an image of 16 * 16 pixels.
- Save it as an ICON file (.ico) extension with the name favicon.ico in the root folder of your Website. (The folder with your index.html file)

- To also allow browsers that support animated gifs, add the following line to the <head> section of your HTML:
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.gif" type="image/gif"> and, of course, make the gif file and place it
in the root folder of your site.
