Hi everybody,<br />
<br />
The subject itself tells my question. still....<br />
<br />
I want to know how some pages when added to Favourite show the logo instead of IE icon?<!--content-->Look here for more info: <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.favicon.com">www.favicon.com</a><!-- w --><br />
<br />
Something I have discovered though is that IE has a bug so that the favicon doesn't always show up. Mine only pops up occassionally.<!--content-->Publishing the Icon<br />
It is simple to publish the icon, simply upload it to the same directory as the file you want bookmarked. For example, for this page on the HTML site at About, I would place it at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://webdesign.about.com/library/weekly/favicon.ico">http://webdesign.about.com/library/weekly/favicon.ico</a><!-- m -->. <br />
<br />
You can also put a different icon on every page of your site (if you like), or point to one icon in many folders. To do this, you add a link reference to the head of every HTML document that you want the favorite icon associated with. e.g.<br />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"path to icon/favicon.ico"><br />
<br />
this information can be found here = <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://webdesign.about.com/library/weekly/aa070300a.htm">http://webdesign.about.com/library/weekly/aa070300a.htm</a><!-- m --><!--content-->We have a number of different 鎼択in?sites running off the same server directory and our favourite.ico link is created dynamically and placed in every header dependant on which site is being accessed like below.<br />
<br />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"domain1/images/favicon.ico"><br />
or <link rel="shortcut icon" href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"domain2/images/favicon.ico"><br />
or <link rel="shortcut icon" href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"domain3/images/favicon.ico"><br />
<br />
This works and favourite icons populate the browser just fine.<br />
<br />
However, we continue to get 404 NOT FOUND - domainX /favicon.ico in our server logs also this error has no reference to the link image directory we specified in the header tags.<br />
<br />
What is going on, can someone please shed light on this problem for me.<br />
<br />
<br />
UPDATE:<br />
Upon even closer inspection, the error file not found does not occur if the user bookmarks themselves via their browser. But it does occur if they use our java:bookmark link :-<br />
<a href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('site-url,'site-name')">Bookmark this site!</a><br />
<br />
it does not seam to follow the favourite icon location instruction in the page header.<br />
<br />
Any help would be very much appreciated.<!--content-->the favicon as to be at root<!--content-->Even when you use<br />
