What is Digg?33 Comments
- ideadude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+53no digg.
The article goes into how to make a favicon, but doesn't have any design tips for making a "good" one. So useful if you don't know how to save things in .ico format or how to add a favicon to a web page, but not useful if you were looking for design tips. - stevemchey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22Java != javascript
- KillerJ59J, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22If ever there was a pet peeve of mine, using huge flashy JavaScript windows that follow you and distract from the content probably ranks pretty high.
P.S. This isn't even about making a good favicon.. it's how to save something as a .ico. I was at least expecting the content to be about what the title described.
/s/'Making a Good Favicon'/'Making a Favicon' - jonathansnook, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Just to clarify, the "huge flashy JavaScript" is actually one line of CSS: position:fixed. Otherwise, carry on. :)
- Skyhoper, on 10/12/2007, -1/+105 bucks says Kevin Rose dugg this story without reading it. He loves that little shovel guy.
- jonathansnook, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7@Ohjay: okay, admittedly, I simplified things quite a bit. Having the element slide up and down is handled via fixed position. I use JavaScript to handle the resize when the window gets too small to handle the horizontal scrollbar. The rest of the javascript is handling the form and the preview. I'm using prototype lite which is only 5k because it's fairly small and saves me having to handle detecting classnames and doing document.getElementById.
- stevemchey, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7@ nurvus - Well, it is more than a technicality... there is not even a "javascript layout" on that page. It is true that he/she is using javascript on the page. However, JS is used for client side behavior, not layout. The layout is still HTML+CSS...
In addition that side probably uses way less JS than digg does and the text box might actually be CSS... - pixelat3d, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5No.... they dont' have to be .icos -- they can be pngs as well. just link them as normal (link rel="shortcut icon" href="youricon.png")
Note that this will only work in browsers that support it. Firefox for example supports this, IE of course doesn't. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7The differences between Javascript and Java is no "small technicality" as you put it.
Read up on it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javascript
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_%28programming_language%29 - rayblasdel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4IE 7 Supports the newer (gif/jpg/png) format favicons as well.
- surfing, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5java = coffee
- elfprince13, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4java vs javascript is NOT a "small" technicality, the 2 languages aren't even related further than that they both are free form languages using {} to mark sections of code instead of begin-end
- Ace02, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Favicons don't have to be .ico files, you can use whatever you want.
- aura, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I made a favicon for my site because apache kept complaining into my error logs that it was missing. I did a quick google and found a site that converts .jpgs to .icos (forgot the URL)
To be honest I don't much mind either way from a user perspective. - clickwir, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yes, there are tons of crappy favicons. Easy to deal with though.
about:config
search: icon
double click the first and 3rd options
Have a nice day. - monistat7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I didn't write it, but: Java is to JavaScript as Car is to Carpet.
- Lepanto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1There is a website where you can make a favicon really easy and fast:
http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/ - kb0x, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Gifs too. Handy of you want an animated favicon.
- OhJay, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Just noticed that you're the owner of the site. That means you probably know where to find your code... My bad.
Why are you claiming that you haven't got any "huge flashy JavaScript" when you've got that whole Prototype thing going on? - board2, on 02/15/2008, -0/+0That's great find

http://nano-tech.freehostia.com - mercurysquad, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Dugg because the site layout is nice and fresh, as blogs go.
- stevemchey, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1@ OhJay - I wonder who knows more about this - you or the guy who wrote the code...
Look at v7-screen.css. You will find something like this:
#postcomment {
...
position:fixed;
...
}
Edit: He never said he isn't using JS. He just said that the comment box on the right isn't JS. - derek20cali, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Someone needs to get out more.
- OhJay, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1You're wrong.
JavaScript is being used to reposition the comment form on the right whenever you scroll or resize the window. Look for SNOOK.updatePosition(). You'll find that function in v7.js. - elfprince13, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3woops, wrong spot, ignore this
- nurvus, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3Thanks for pointing that out.....
- D3koy, on 10/12/2007, -12/+6Am I the only one this doesn't bother?
- alej744, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2No, they hafta be ico's.
- stevemchey, on 10/12/2007, -11/+3Sorry... digg me down...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -18/+8It's ok Steve, they don't really know anything, they just throw around names pretending to know things. This is Digg, where 99.9% of the population is teenagers with nothing better to do on a Friday night that don't know anything so they make ***** up and misinform everybody else.
Me? I'm just a guy catching up on "news" before going to a party.
Digg me down if you agree. - Innagadadavida, on 10/12/2007, -16/+6This website design is a perfect example of "over doing it"
- nurvus, on 10/12/2007, -19/+1The layout in java on the site is a personal pet peeve of mine tbo. ahh well
- nurvus, on 10/12/2007, -26/+2Caught on a small technicality..........*****..jesus ***** christ
