Custom JSP taglib. Lets you work with favicons in your web applications.
Tag addFavicon lets you add favicon from the remote sites to your JSP pages.
For example:
<%@ taglib uri="taglib.tld" prefix="i" %>
<br/><i:addFavicon>http://www.google.com</i:addFavicon> http://www.google.com
<br/><i:addFavicon>http://www.servletsuite.com/jsp.htm</i:addFavicon> http://www.servletsuite.com/jsp.htm
and you will get some like this:
http://www.google.com
http://www.servletsuite.com/jsp.htm
You can provide an alternate image (in case of favicon.ico does not exist of the requested site). Also you can provide your own CSS settings for the image. By default tag will use the following: width=16 height=16 border=0
Tag insertFavicon lets you embed JavaScript code for adding favicon from the remote sites. So in this case favicon will be actually added on the client side.
Tag blinkFavicon lets you embed JavaScript code for simulating blinking favicon on your own site.
You can use a blinking favicon as a notification for various events (messages, buddy login, signout). For example:
<%@ taglib uri="taglib.tld" prefix="i" %>
<br/><i:blinkFavicon/>
and you will see favicon blinking.
