favicon.ico

[Guest]

I have created a favicon.ico for my website and have placed the following in
my header, but the favicon.ico is not showing up. (Is it just a matter of
time, and I am too impatient? It's been about an hour.)


<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON"
HREF="http://www.atlaschiropracticonline.com/favicon.ico">

My website is www.atlaschiropracticonline.com

Thank you,
Brenda

Depends upon your browser. IE 6, for example, won't show the favicon unless
you've bookmarked the page in your favorites (and then it will loose it if
you clean out your browser cache).

In your case though, the problem is the favicon.ico is not being found. If
you try to browse to it directly the server returns a 404. Make sure that
you've uploaded the file, and make sure that all the letters are in
lowercase (Apache is case sensitive and your link to the file is a lowercase
link so best to make things easy).

Hope this helps,

Well, it might help if I gave you the CORRECT url for my website:

http://www.atlasfamilychiropracticonline.com/

I have also just changed the code to:

<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON"
HREF="http://www.atlasfamilychiropracticonline.com/favicon.ico">


Thank you,

Mark,

In my code, does the "SHORTCUT ICON" need to also be lower case, or does
that matter?

<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON"

Thank you,

Hi Mark,

I'm using IE 7 -- I can browse to the favicon:

http://www.atlasfamilychiropracticonline.com/favicon.ico

I had given the wrong url earlier... sorry about that...

Brenda,
The favicons do not work in IE7 at all for me,but they do in firefox.
Why, I do not know

 

[Guest]

Interesting. Thank you for checking. Perhaps someone might be able to help
me with IE 7?

Thank you,
Brenda

Works for me in IE 7.

Do you have any previously saved shortcuts to the website or have you added it to your favorites "before" you
added the favicon??

If so delete all shortcuts to the site and remove it from favorites.
Then clear your temp internet and history.
Then open the web site and see if the favicon appears.

Steve,

I did not have any saved shortcuts, nor did I have it in my favorites, but
after I cleaned out my internet temp files and reloaded the site, it's
*there*!

THANK YOU ~ I never would have thought of that.

Use the following link:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico">

Place the favicon in a file called favicon.ico in your web root
directory.


In IE 7, Mozilla and Netscape this this places the favicon on all
pages.

You can see this on my web page at www.richardfisher.com

Thank you ~ I have it in this file, and IE7 can see the favicon... should I
change it? Will other browsers not see it the way I have it right now?
