    Question Re: How do you get a logo in the address bar?

    Dumb bird here again

    I tried this and it doesn't work, even though I used all the suggestions from the sites quoted? Any hints on what's going wrong?

    Thanks

    what have you done so far?

    did you create the icon and convert to .ico

    did you put the code between the head tags

    Hey ShinyB

    1.Create an image file. 16x16 pixels,convert it to ICO format.

    2. Upload it to the root of your server as favicon.ico. or anything.ico

    3. include this code in your webpage between the <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags:
    <LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.shinyb.com/favicon.ico">

    thats all i done, just following the links i posted on the previous pages
    i have one site with a different icon on each page using the above 1.2.3

    Is very bizarre as I have followed these instructions step by step. Can you view the source on my web page and see if there is anything blazingly obvious I have/haven't done? http://www.big-impact.co.uk

    Ps. favicon.ico is uploaded to the root also

    Hi Shiny, (my Leicester neighbour).
    Your blue UFO like icon is working.
    I know that sometimes a browser will not immediately load up the icon if it has been recently replaced on the server etc.
    Anyway, if I can see it, it means that the rest of the world outside Leicester can also view it.
    Strange that you don't use your logo (or any other logo) on your web pages.

    Hello there,

    I am dumb, just checked on another laptop in the house and it is there. May be that I have an old version of IE!!

    On the use of the logo it was very difficult to fit it in as it is my husband's site and the design is quite boxy whereas the logo is circular. May try to re-design it as I know you are right there!

    Thanks
    ShinyB

    Yes, I've noticed that too. When they've disapeared and I close IE and open it again they are suddenly back ! How come?

    Hi Marcia,

    the Internet Explorer loads the Favicon picture as a temporary file. After cleaning up your Cache (Internet Explorer temporary files folder), the picture is deleted. Another reason for this is, that the file in the Cache is expired. The Internet Explorer shows you then the standard icon.
