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

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.

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

Ok, I opened Windows Explorer and the opened the index.htm file with NotePad. I inserted the following code just before the </Head> :Originally Posted by suunto
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON"
HREF="/index.htm/RECMGM flag.ico">
Didn't work. In fact, when I saw that it didn't work, I reopened the index.htm file in Windows Explorer and the code I had put in there was gone.

Yes Ron, it sounds like you've manually placed your text into the pages source file. If this is the case this part of the html file will be lost every time you re-export your site from XX. You need to use a head placeholder. I'll see if I can find a link.
Here you go Ron

Re: How do you get a logo in the address bar?
Ron, the mistake you have made is:
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON"
HREF="/index.htm/RECMGM flag.ico">
It should be on one line not contain index.htm not be UPPER CASE and use no spaces.
Use this:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/recmgm-flag.ico" />
As for it disappearing? Could you have perhaps forgotten to save after editing in notepad?
