An icon for saving to home screen

On iOS (and Android?), you can save pages as bookmarks on your home screen. If they are formatted correctly, the home screen bookmarks will have a nice little icon on the home screen. I suggest a change to the HTML (or CSS) of the site so that when you save a page to the home screen, there is an icon. I have researched this, and it would appear that you must place this line of code in the head of your HTML:

Code:

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="iphone-icon.png"/>

iphone-icon.png is fairly self-explanatory.

Thanks, Technoboy10.  smile

Re: An icon for saving to home screen

Androids use the favicon for bookmarks, so it works fine on an android.
