shutuped Posted December 25, 2004 Posted December 25, 2004 I'm having a little trouble getting my favicon to work the way I would like. I'm browsing in Mozilla, and it loads when I first load the page, but only next to the URL. I would like it to also show up next to the title when browsing in tabs. The other problem is that if I load the site in a tab, the icon shows up next to the URL, but when I switch to a different tab and then back, it disapears. I've included the following code: <LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.shutuped.com/favicon.ico"'>http://www.shutuped.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> <LINK REL="icon" HREF="http://www.shutuped.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> I read that this should cover the maximum amount of browsers. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Ed shutuped.com Quote

TCH-Bruce Posted December 25, 2004 Posted December 25, 2004 Welcome to the family. You don't need to add any coding to your pages. All you need to do is place the favicon.ico file in the public_html folder and it should appear when viewing your site. If you have subdomains or sub folders the favicon.ico file also needs to be in them if you want it to apprear. Quote
LisaJill Posted December 25, 2004 Posted December 25, 2004 That's not strictly true. The same favicon will appear for subfolders unless a DIFFERENT favicon is in those folders. At least, that is how it has worked in my experience. =) Also, be aware that most browsers use a different cache for favicons, and that it is a fairly problematic system and can be unstable - even if the favicon is working it may take awhile for it to appear properly. I'm not sure why this is, but it seems to be fairly wel lknown about when I've done research on it. Quote

LisaJill Posted December 25, 2004 Posted December 25, 2004 Oh, yes it is, it goes by the root level of the site, as far as I know. =) Quote
