krieser Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Favicon works fine for me in the public_html directory or any of my subdomain site directories. Mine's saved as favicon.ico and works great. Do you have a url for what's not working? Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btrfld Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 I'm seeing your favicon fine in Firefox. Does IE even display them at all? I've never seen one on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Don Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Welcome to the family Frederic Nice splash page, and site Thumbs Up I see the favicon after I save your site as a fav and reloaded it from the favs. I clicked on the english button, but it took me to the same page as the french button. But I like the look of your site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeJ Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Some browsers I don't believe read the favicon until you bookmark the site. I do believe IE uses favicons, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sts Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 I see your icon in Netscape. IE shows favicons when it wants to No, actually, you add your site to favorites, close all windows then open IE again and the icon should appear.

TCH-Don Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Whoops! I used IE6 and saw it after saving and reloading in Firebird, it was there right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Don Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 IE shows favicons when it wants to Of course that is only when the moon is full Yes it may be there for weeks, and then gone for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krieser Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 It works for me in Firefox too. Opera 7.23 works as well (both on winxp). Very cool style on your site! Thumbs Up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThumpAZ Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 In IE... The favicon.ico file is not shown until you bookmark (add to favorites). Then it is visible in the Favorites list. Clicking on this bookmark will then show the icon in the address bar. Once the cookie expires, or you blow out the cache, the icon will be gone until you re-add the site to the favorites or resyncrhonize bookmarks (this will typically happen within a few seconds of viewing the bookmarked page). And the English version is not showing up for me either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederic Posted February 24, 2004 Author Share Posted February 24, 2004 Thanks a lot all of you! The english version of my site will be up soon.. have to translate it. I'm under OS X with Safari and I still can't see it even with Explorer, but as long as other people can see it it's fine with me!

arvind Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 sometimes IE does show it in the address bar. It displays find in all mozillas ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederic Posted February 24, 2004 Author Share Posted February 24, 2004 it is finally working! I just "reinitialized" Safari and my favicon is now appearing! As for Mac version of IE the favicon are not support at all. Thanks Frederic www.mozaik.tv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Thomas Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 My bookmarked favicons deletes themselves in I.E when i reboot for some weird reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeJ Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 I'm under OS X with Safari and I still can't see it even with Explorer, but as long as other people can see it it's fine with me! That's odd. I'm running Safari on Mac OS X and it showed up immediately for me. I didn't have to bookmark the site or anything. Also works for the Mozilla variants (Mozilla, Camino, Firefox), Netscape, and Opera. Doesn't work for IE or OmniWeb (at least the version I have, haven't updated that one in awhile). I don't consider IE on the Mac a real browser anymore though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
