Favicons
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:
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">

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

Re: Favicons
Thanks for the tips. I succeeded with the tip for FireFox.
But adding the line for IExplorer, did not show the favicon in IE8. Furthermore, the favicon in FF disappeared upon page refresh (F5). Here are a copy of the content in my <head> placeholder; <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="teeeest_htm_files/LogTest.png" /> <link rel="icon" href="href="teeeest_htm_files/LogTest.png" type="image/x-icon"> Will appreciate any help.

Re: Favicons
Correction to the above; There was a typo on my part.
Using the two lines; <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="teeeest_htm_files/LogTest.png" /> <link rel="icon" href="teeeest_htm_files/LogTest.png" type="image/x-icon"> produces a correct result with FireFox, but still not for IE8. Last edited by amateur; 05 May 2009 at 11:09 PM.. Reason: moved the text "type="image/x-icon"" to the right of href="....

Re: Favicons
Try emptying IE's cache and restarting IE.

Re: Favicons
Hi, sledger,
I have deleted all the temp internet files etc using "Tools -- Alternatives for Internet -- Browserlog". I do not normally use IE, so I am not to familiar with it anymore. I am uncertain whether this is the cache purge you meant. Anyway, still no go in IE8. Only in FFox.
