get the icon found in address bar in browser

[Thomas McGrath III]

Mark,

Thanks, I should have just asked that. I knew it was an .ico file but  
wasn't thinking about natively reading the file.

I wonder if there is a way to access gif/bmp representations of a  
website in another way. I know that revBrowser will do a snapshot  
thumbnail and was hoping for another way to represent the page in a  
text field 'just like the favicons'.

Any ideas welcome, this is not a critical issue but a desire to do  
this cleanly.
