GMAIL in chrome has a favicon that shows an unread message count. Does anyone know how they do that? Is that them changing images? Or is there a property that allows you to set the number near the favicon?

Thanks

I don't know how Google did it, but the way I did it way:

 $('body').append($('<link rel="icon" type="image/ico" href="http://localhost/myfavicon.ico"/>'))

As needed.
