Farsue Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I was wondering how you get a browser to display an icon next to the url of the webpage. ~Farsue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachary Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" /> Name your .ico file favicon and upload it to the root directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holmedwa04 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I have always wanted one of those for my website, but I can never seem to be able to make an image that is small enough. Don't they have to be about 20 by 20 pixels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott100 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I made one per specifications, but it still only shows up in firefox, not IEIt's IE, what did you expect! To make it work in IE you have to drag and drop the default icon (the e on top of the document) until you see the shortcut symbol. Do this a couple of times and IE will refresh itself.

How do I implement a favicon on my web page? Place the icon in the same directory as your HTML file. That's all you need to do - Have fun.Ruud Hermans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
