Does anyone know how to capture/get the icon found before the http
text in the address bar in most web browsers? I want to get this via

Hi Tom,
The web page contains a link to the Favicon file. Officially, this is
supposed to be an ico file, which Revolution can't read natively. If
this file happens to be bmp, gif, jpg or png, you can just download it
and display it in a field.

Mark,
Thanks, I should have just asked that. I knew it was an .ico file but
wasn't thinking about natively reading the file.
I wonder if there is a way to access gif/bmp representations of a
website in another way. I know that revBrowser will do a snapshot
thumbnail and was hoping for

Some clever revDude could hack out a conversion -- .ico's are only
16x16 (uncompressed?)
1. screenscrape the html of the page for the first .ico file
2. get the file as binary
3. figure out where the headers, jump tables are, the standards for
ico are out there I'm sure
4. convert to

Clever versus time versus need ???
If you go to www.go2web20.com they have a flash app that 'gets'
website graphics and I'm not sure if they are even the original
favicons or where they got them from. But I wouldn't think they got
them all manually?? Anyway, I would like to have a bookmark
Colin,
Yes this will get the .ico file if it is at the root level but not all
are and more importantly for me anyway is Rev can't handle the .ico
natively so I'm still stuck. Hoping for s semi-simple solution.
Thanks though,

Tom,
Don't know if this will help...
but you could capture the icon using import (or export) snapshot,
then, if you needed it to have a transparency channel, you could knock
out the background using the scripts in altMakeTransparent stack at:

Chipp,
Yeah, that seems my last resort and I will play around to see what
results I get. I like the idea of the altMakeTransparent approach.
Thanks,
