Strange appearance

**Ron Duke** · 18 September 2009, 11:49 PM

I'm working on a new web site and the client has requested a contact information at the bottom of the web page. In Mozilla it looks fine. In IE there is a strange appearance of some additional information that I didn't put there. In IE go to: http://ronaldcduke.com and see the text at the bottom of the page. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of that or how it got there in the first place?

One other thing. I've created my 16x16 icon for this same web site, gave it the name <head>, put it in a placeholder, did a File, Export to Web site, cleared web history and I still don't see the favicon in the URL or Tab. Here's the code I put in the placeholder:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="index_htm_files/bcefavicon.ico" >
<link rel="icon" href="index_htm_files/bcefavicon.ico" type="image/gif" >

Ron I see nothing strange in any browser. They all look identical here.

And the reason you favicon isn't showing is because it hasn't been uploaded to the place the code is pointing to.

Your code: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="index_htm_files/bcefavicon.ico" >

So the browser expects the bcefavicon.ico to be here:

http://ronaldcduke.com/index_htm_files/bcefavicon.ico

....but it isn't

You don't have to give the .ico the name <head>, just the placeholder (don't know whether that would affect it though) and just the first 'head' entry is required I've found. The page looks OK using IE TAB in FF except for a bit of 'degrading' [see attachment] - couldn't test in IE properly as it's crawling again

but I'm sure someone will.

Just seen Steve's post, using "Ockham's Razor"!
