Most of the posts about favicons were made before the actual issue of XWD and before the recent update.
Is there any way of adding the favicon code to the head of the index page with the current setup?

Re: Favicons
Yes. Create placeholder object. Give it a "<head>" name (main menu "Utilities/Names..."). Add following code to the placeholder:
where icon.png is an URL of your icon image.Code:<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="icon.png" />

Re: Favicons
Don't forget to add for IE, it's still the most used browser on the market.
add both lines and you'll be covering all browsers. make sure you have two images, one with your png extension and one with ico
Code:<link rel="icon" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

Re: Favicons
Why the png filename? I have only used ico up to now.

Hi Willie,
You can use an ico , bmp, jpg, or png as your favicon.

Re: Favicons
I just added a favicon to my web site. I got the info from Egg's tutorial at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8a2P...eature=channel .
I've been doing handstands trying to get it to work only to read in this thread that IE8 may be a problem. I switched from IE8 to FF and the favicon works
Does anyone have a solution to make it work with IE8?
Here is the line of code in my <head>
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon.png"/>
Thank you, Peter

Re: Favicons
In IE browsers the site must first be added to favourites before it shows the favicon.

Re: Favicons
Hans I do not believe that is accurate information.
Perhaps you could qualify that comment a little more?

Steve,
It isn't a strict rule but it just seems to happens that way,
though it shows on and off but if it's a fav it works better.
