Graeme Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 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 Graeme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 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.

falkencreative Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 You may also have to close and reopen your web browser -- in my experience, it sometimes doesn't show up otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Hello All, Thanks for the help. I can get it to display in FF & Google Chrome but not in IE. Best wishes Graeme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSW Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Are you surprised? I am not sure if IE even supports them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjaminmorgan Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I would remove the / before favicon and it should work if you are using it as localhost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
