Hello,

Can anyone tell me how to have my logotype instead of the IE logo visible to
the left of the name of the web-page?

Thanks

Hi Ronx,

Thanks for your answer, it explaind to me the world of favicons, but there
is just one problem, it doesn't work! I have used the 2 favicon generators
on the sites you suggested and the codes supplied. The favicon.ico file is
in the root directory and <LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON"
HREF="http://www.mysite.com/favicon.ico" /> is in the top of the HEAD. I
have tried with IE, Firefox and Chrome.

Any suggestion what the cause of this problem is?

I assume that you have your real domain name in the meta tag, and NOT
mysite.com? And you have published both page and icon to the domain?

If the favicon is in the web site's root folder, try removing the meta
tags relating to the icon. I don't use them (the meta tags) on my site,
except on:
http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/favicon.aspx
http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/favicon-example.aspx

On these pages the favicon works in every modern browser, but the icon
is located in a folder off the root.

Now it works! I moved the favicon.ico file away from the root and then
everything works just fine!

You are telling me I don't need, or shouldn't use, the the tag in the <HEAD>
if the icon is in the root?. I tried that right now, but it doesn't work.
Could it be that you use .aspx and I use .htm?

It has nothing to do with the extension. It depends on where you are
testing - on your published web site, or on your PC.

If your icon is in the root folder of your web site and named
favicon.ico - for example at http://www.example.com/favicon.ico - and
you are testing pages in your web site, then it should display without
the meta tags. In any other case the tags are required, since they
point to the icon's location.

Additionally if used, 2 tags are required: (change path/to/ to the
location of the .ico file)

<link rel="icon" href="path/to/iconfile.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="path/to/iconfile.ico"
type="image/x-icon">

One will work with IE, the other with other browsers.

If you give a link to your page we can check whether it works or not in
our browsers, and perhaps give some guidance from there.

I don't have a problem with either page in IE8 or FireFox.

Screen dumps showing the favicons rendering on both pages are at
http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/pages/favcon_test.htm

IE6 sometimes needs to have all shortcuts to the page deleted before it
will render a favicon. These shortcuts are usually in the IE History
and Favourites, and perhaps on your desktop. FireFox and later
versions of IE do not normally need any special treatment in this
fashion.
