    Default Re: Website Icon in IE tab

    If I change the name to index, will it work?

    You can also put this code into a placeholder [e.g a rectangle] <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" /> using Web Properties/replace with html code. Using the yellow icon on the info bar name this placeholder <head> and put it in the paste board area [the grey area]

    You have uploaded the favicon image to the server haven't you?

    Hmm, well I am glad it is working for you. How does it look?

    By upload to the server you just mean through publishing my website through my host right? If so, then yes. Sorry I am a newbie...

    Well, you did ask How does it look? Here's an example on a site I made for my friend Scamble For this one I used the code <link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="favicon.ico"> but apparently modern browsers utilise the favicon.ico without any code.

    Yes, the .ico should be uploaded to the main folder of your domain, where you have your index file.

    OK. After a bit of research, you can do it this way

    1] Create a placeholder [e.g. a small rectangle], open Web Properties and in 'link to file' browse to your favicon.ico and click apply - this imports the actual file and saves it into the index_htm_files folder

    [2] Create another placeholder, name it <head> and in Web Properties/replace with html code add:- <link rel="shortcut icon" href="index_htm_files/favicon.ico" />

    Put the placeholders on the pasteboard and re-publish your site


    PS To name the placeholder, click on the yellow icon ...
