Favourite Icon

[Graeme]

Hello All,

 

I've been trying to add a favourite icon to a web site using the code

 

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico">

The icon is 16x16 and in the root directory. I read that it might take a little while for it to show ,especially in IE but it's seems like ages now!

 

Thank you as awlays,

 

Best wshes

The / in front of favicon will only work with an online page, not from a local file unless you have Apache server and are using it to view the page.

 

If you have uploaded your page and the favicon.ico into the root directory online, clear your cache (while your browser is looking at another page because the cache may not clear the page showing on the screen) and then download the page again.

You may also have to close and reopen your web browser -- in my experience, it sometimes doesn't show up otherwise.

Hello All,

 

Thanks for the help.

 

I can get it to display in FF & Google Chrome but not in IE.

 

Best wishes

Are you surprised? I am not sure if IE even supports them.

I'm in IE now reading this post and the little frog is in the address bar!

Check and see what the Killercode for it looks like,

I would remove the / before favicon and it should work if you are using it as localhost.
