Hi all,
I am trying get a bookmark icon to work for my site but I can't seem to get it to show in browser bookmarks.
I have created a 16x16 px gif image and uploaded to my host server but no sign in browsers.
I'm on a mac using snow leopard, checking in most browsers.
This is new to me so I could do with some help if anybody knows.
Cheers
OK a few notes for you (to get it working):
- Firstly, it needs to be a proper Microsoft Icon file (.ico) if you want it to work browser wide.
- Secondly, you want to name the file favicon.ico (that's what browsers look for by default).
- Finally, you'll want to include the below code in your <head> so they can find and cache it.
Code:<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" href="favicon.ico" />
Absolutely brilliant advice Alex. I had managed to save it as a .ico file but didn't know the rest.Originally Posted by AlexDawson
I'm so grateful. You presented the information really clearly, very easy to understand.
I did what you said and it worked.
Thank you so much,
Cheers,
Phil
