Ok I have a question (what a surprize ;) )
On some websites including this one the image next to the url is different from the default. How is that done. To make things more clear ....

That is called a favicon. You can put one on your site by placing the following code in the HEAD section nof your website:

Code:
 
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

Replace /images/favicon.ico with the path to your image, of course. Favicons have to be in .ico format, and you can't just rename a picture that. You'll need a program that can save in .ico format, or use a free generator such as FavIcon from Pics

You can also use
Code:
 
<link rel="icon" href="misc/FavIcon.png" type="image/x-icon">

to make FavIcons
They Can also be GIFs or PNGs but that only seems to work on Mozilla/FireFox/Opera Just Change type="image/x-icon" to type="image/gif" or type="image/png"
