Adding a Favicon?

[for_vt]

Hello,

I have been doing some searching and checking for information on how to get a favicon to show up in my web site address line and also when the page is bookmarked.

I made a favicon.ico file and placed it in the root folder. Now I am not sure what the code is for me to add it to my site. Any ideas? This is what I have so far:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.johnrichmondlandscapinginc.com/favicon.ico"&gt;

I want it to show up in as many browsers as possible. Thanks for your help!

basically you are on the right track… but to make it REALLY easy

http://favicon-generator.org/

this will let you upload an image, favicon it, then give you the code…

if you dont see it right away, its normally firefox being slow to update, even when you flush the cash… but it will be there. Safari is normally on the ball when you change you icon… But anyway, test in a diff browser and you might see it quicker.

Did you put the favicon .ico file in the root directroy and the code in the header of each page?

Hi guys…

My problem is that my favicon appears in Mozilla and Safari but not in IE.. What should I do?

This is my code:

How can I do that? And actually I just need that my favicon will be seen in any client IE browser… so is this just a cache problem?

So useful link !! Thx !!

I have cleared the cache and I also changed the favicon in .ico ( it’s no more .png ) for IE but it still doesn’t work…

This function is not so clear for me actually: ExtractIcon() but maybe it will solve the problem…
