Yahoo! Messenger IMVironment

Yahoo! Messenger IMVironment doesn't work!
If you install the messenger alone, IMVs do not work. You have to install Messenger with Extras (Yahoo! Companion, etc) to make these work.

How to Add a Shortcut Icon to a Web Page?

Creating a Shortcut Icon for a Web Page

The required size of a shortcut icon is 16x16 pixels. Use the following HTML code to enable this:

<HEAD>
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.mydomain.com/myicon.ico">
</HEAD>

The only way a shortcut icon appears on a user's Favorites menu and Address bar is if the user chooses to add your page as a favorite.

This is how you can add a button or a link that prompts user to add your page to favorites. Use the following Javascript code:

<SCRIPT>
<!--
if ((navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE") > 0)
&& (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4)) {
var sText = "<u><span style='color:blue;cursor:hand;'";
sText += "onclick='window.external.AddFavorite(location.href,";
sText += "document.title);'>Add this page to your favorites</span></u>";
document.write(sText);
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
