Url Icon!

by dtb104 - 7/8/08 3:03 PM

In internet explorer, Firefox and in your favorites bar, a small Icon is displayed. I would like to know how you create and code these icons into the website. I all ready have a .ico converter to convert files to this format, am using 16 by 16 pixels. I named the file favicon.ico and have the following text inserted in between the <Head> commands: < link REL="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" HREF="/path_to_image/favicon.ico" >

Please Help!!

Thanks

Did you UPLOAD your favicon?

Make sure it's on your server - and make sure your path is correct - I insert mine with this code

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">


in the head section - the line you show looks for your favicon in a folder called 'path_to_image' - I imagine this is NOT where you put it.

Favicon

If you search the net for Problems installing a Favicon you surly find thousends of threads.
which shows itīs every thing else but that easy to implement such.
Try Wikipedia first. Thereīs a short discription for the most cms.
Than you might, depending on your cms, set the Favicon in the root of the template and as a tip change the favicons in the not used templates either. (Donīt ask me why) deleting the cach might be another option.
Hope I could help.
