Icons In Ie Fav

[hungrylilboy]

how do you make an icon appear next to a page in fav or before the http://?

I am building a new site and want to add this in. How do i go about it?

You just need to put an icon file called "favicon.ico" in the root directory of your website.

Damn You ask a lot :lol: :lol: (That's a good thing)

First create a icon with a icon maker program it should be named favicon.ico and uploaded to Your site.

Then put this between the HEAD tags:


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

That's about it....

Need more info just ask :)

bit boring really.
Its not for me, for someone else&#39;s site. Might make it into a smilie poking its tongue out or something for a laugh and see how long it is till they find out&#33;

and.
because it hasn&#39;t been mentioned.
if it&#39;s anything other than 16x16 some browsers will ignore it.

i did 16x16 so thats no prob. What about colours? any probs with some browsers or just old pcs?

[sparsely]

well, of course, the fewer you use, the more backward-compatible it&#39;ll be.
16 color is what most recommend, but you can get away with 32, 64, or even 128.
Just that the more colors you use, the more crappy it&#39;ll look on older browsers/machines.
I just made a new one for my site today...before I even saw this thread :P

Hi. I just created a "favicon.ico" for my website, but I have a problem.

Using Netscape7.1, if I type in the actual URL of the site, the icon works fine, but if I type in the ".tk" URL of my site, the icon doesn&#39;t load up.

Also, it doesn&#39;t work at all using Internet Explorer (6.x)

Please help&#33;

[sparsely]

that&#39;s because the tk thing is really just a redirect.
