Hi,

The "www" before the domain name creates an issue.

This should work between the <head> and </head>:

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

where <your_domain> is your domain name WITHOUT the "www." in front.

Cheers,

Simon

I am sure that I am making a simple boneheaded mistake and I would appreciate your help in spotting in. I have just installed apache_2.0.53-win32-x86-no_ssl.exe php-5.0.3-Win32.zip Smarty-2.6.7.tar.gz on a system running WindowsXP SP2. Apache and PHP tested out fine. After adding Smarty, I ran the following http://localhost/testphp.php

Hi there, If I use frames, should a reference to the favicon.ico (like: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="pictures/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">) be placed on _every page_, or is one reference in the index.htm (top-frame) enough. I'm asking this question because I had a reference in my top-frame only, wich seemed to work OK (the favicon showd in the adress-bar in all frames), but all of a sudden the favicon won't show anymore in the

I have a 16 color 16 x 16 pixel icon (favicon.ico); 4-bit palette. I have put the icon in the root directory of my web site, and I have also added the <link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" ... /> HTML tag in the document header section. The icon appears fine in FireFox's address bar, but refuses to show up in the notebook tab. The notebook continues to show the "blank document" generic icon. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this?

I'm have a problem showing a favicon in ver 1.7.10. It shows up correctly in the address bar, but is missing from the tab. I've tried each of these HTML 'statements' to add the favicon to the page, but no luck: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" > <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> FWIW, it seems to render OK in IE v6.0. I haven't tried it in FFox 2.0 yet, but I'll need it to work there...

I'm trying to create a favicon which I've done before, and it just won't show up. I've even saved the file as a gif and entered the URL of where the file is according to my FTP program, and I get a File Cannot Be Found error. I've copied the pixels from the file and pasted them into a favicon that is working and showing up, renamed it by just adding a number to the end, and still it won't show up, either as an .ico or a .gif. So I've...

Does it possible change favicon icon depending on browser type: display favicon.ico for Internet Explorer browsers, and favicon.gif for the rest browsers? Problem is that ugly MSIE can display only .ICO favicons, whereas other browsers support any favicon type - gif, png, jpg. Since gif favicons has much better quality than ico file, I'm wondering does it possible sort browsers with javascript and show appropriate favicon type for...

Hi, I want to display favicon from different domains on my page. I wrote this line (domain is a variable): <span style="background-image:url('domain/favicon.ico');width: 16px;height:16px;"></span> Is there a way to display empty favicon when a certain domain does not have a favicon? is there a way to know it without round trip to the domain to check it in advanced? Thanks, Gabi.

It is a question of following the paths (relative or full URL) in your meta tags vs. not reading the meta tags at all and just looking for the favicon in the root.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
