I had a small logo icon that would appear in the address line just fine instead of the internet explorer one. Once I went to frames I have lost my icon! Can't figure out how to get it back. It still is working as the icon they get if they save my site as a bookmark. I believe. Where do I need it to be on the site or how can I make this work again. Thanks you TM<!--content-->you should be able to get this done by placing the icon code in the head of the framset page(page that has declaration for sub frames)<!--content-->I have that problem with the favicon for my site. My site isn't in frames, but sometimes IE just doesn't seem to bother with the Favicon in the address line, although Mozilla always does. Weird...<!--content-->Cijori, this forum has a favicon. You just have to double click and then drag the address in the address bar up to the title bar of the window, and it should display. If it doesn't, try clicking back on the browser, typing in the URL of some site, and then clicking back again.<!--content-->The Favicon for this site doesn't display because they haven't included<br />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"http://www.whatever.co.uk/favicon.ico"><!--content-->Click the CDXPO.com link at the top, then click back. You'll see it, it's yellow. But you only see it while you're on that page.<br />

Jona<!--content-->I guess I am a box of rocks, I cannot get it to show up on my page at all??<!--content-->Basically you create an *.ico file 16x16 pixels in dimension with 4-bit colour, and add the following: <br />
<br />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"http://www.yoursite.com/youricon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /><br />
<br />
If you are using a technically superior browser like Mozilla Firebird you also have the option of using: <br />
<link rel="icon" href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"http://www.yoursite.com/youricon.png" type="image/png"><br />
<br />
Micro$oft has bugs regarding displaying the icon when cache is cleared, also the icon can be delivered via the server to some user agents if placed within the root directory and given the appropriate name.<!--content-->I thought I said use that code...<!--content-->Yes, don't worry I just added the appropriate MIME and gave the two other alternatives and dragged up one of my old posts and didn't bother to edit it enough
.<!--content-->i can't get my favicon.ico to come up. i used the following code:<br />
<br />
<html><br />
<link rel="shorcut icon" href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"favicon.ico"><br />

<br />
the favicon.ico is 16x16<br />
is there anything that im forgetting?<!--content-->Try testing it in Mozilla, it doesn't work very well in IE unless the pages are cached.<br />
<br />
Jona<!--content-->works in mozilla, by chance is there anyway to force it to appear with IE?<!--content-->I doubt it. If your pages have any META tags, for example Pragma conent="no-cache," take those out.. But it will still only work if the user click "Back" on the browser or something... <br />
