HTML - Favicon Lost In Redirection
Hi,
I webmaster a web page at, lets call the address: www.ourlittledivision.bigcompanydomain.org. Here (at our company) I have all files of the web page, including a functioning favicon. I have also complemented with a more readable web address, lets call it: www.ourlittledivision.com. This second address simply redirects to the first address mentioned above. This domain with its redirection is located at an external web hotel. These two alternative addresses means you can reach the web pages either way by just writing either the first or the second url. My question is that the favicon appears fine if you use the first address, but not if you use the second. The favicon seems to be lost in the redirection, and just IEs default icon is shown. The web hotel should not be blamed. I use it for other web pages where the favicons work, but they are not redirected. My picture favicon.ico lies just next to the index file in the root, not in any of the folders. The code in the index file is simply: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"> <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"> So, can anyone mediate...? Somebody out there must have seen this phenomena. I guess there are more than I that could be helped by a solution to this question... Best regards Stonechat Similar TutorialsI don't know why my favicon does not show up. I was told that if I was using IE 6 that I had to have the link in Favorites. I put it there and the icon shows up in the favorites list but when I go to my page, I still have the expolree e in the title bar. Here is what I used. I already had a "link rel" so I added it to the end. <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css" "shortcut icon" href="./graphics/favicon.ico" /> Any ideas? What is the code to make a favicon work? I have seen examples but none work. I created the favicon.ico and placed it into my root directory it works perfect in IE but it doesn't work in FireFox If I use the link http://www.thetwire.com/ in FireFox it doesn't work, but when I take out the www it works fine. Why is it doing that? And it does the the opposite for internet explore which is fine as long as I can use www. I saw the thread about the guy not being able to see his icon in ie7, but I need to know how to add one from the beginning, I don't even know where to start. Thanks Hi, my name is Michael, and I'm new to this forum. I am having trouble getting my favicon to show up. I have consulted many different websites offering help, but I have not been successful. Additionally, the website is www.yonkedevelopment.com and I have attached a screenshot of some details regarding the favicon I created and am trying to get to work. Can someone show me where I am making a mistake? Thank you - Michael.

I am trying to insert a favicon in my address bar and no matter what I do in code, it doesn't work. Can someone check it out for me. tarrytownvets.com http://www.tarrytownvets.com/favicon.ico My favicon.ico doesn't show in Internet Explorer or Opera. I have deleted my cache and also bookmarked my website and I can't see my favicon.ico in my bookmarks. My favicon.ico is saved in my root directory and I have the following code in my header file:
HTML Code: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.lustroustar.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> Can you see it? Hello all, I've created a site with favicon in that site, but it is not working in IE7 and it works in FireFox, any suggestion? Thanks Can someone look at the script on my site and see why the favicon is not working on IE7? It's working fine with firefox. http://www.mightymo.net Hi, I'm creating my own homepage, and I have a favicon which is a house. But it won't show up. I have another folder called 'sys' (for system) and it's in there. It is linked: 'sys/favicon.ico' but nothing's working. Any ideas? Why favicon do not appear on this my page? http://www.astrosport07.webs.com/pakistancricket.html On some other pages of same website they appear, for example: http://www.astrosport07.webs.com/parcska2009.html Greetings, Goca Hi all, I have been trying in so many ways now to make the favicon appear in IE 6. It works fine in FF but not in IE. I made sure the name was "favicon.ico". I tried clearing my cache and readding the bookmark. None of them seems to work. Can anyone give any suggestions as to why it is not working? If there are HTML errors on the page or if the image size is too big would that prevent it from working. If that is so then why would it work in FF? Also does it have to be in the root folder or in the same folder as the page for IE? Has anyone gotten it to work in IE with a link to the images folder like this... <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/images/public/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> This is what I have and it works in FF but not in IE. Thanks for any help, Jehan Does anybody know how to go one step further on the standard favicon to incororate the url in a bar next to it? Like what google does when you access webmaster tools or adsense etc.. it has the normal google favicon with google.com in a bar next to it.. Feel free to discuss, cheers Jamie i tried this Code: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico"> ..this Code: <head> <link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> </head> & this Code: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon"> <link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon"> it all work on firefox but not on IE6 (i don't know if it does on IE7) any ideas plz thnx in advance hello, strangely, my favicon works on FF but not IE; I use the code (and I tried variations of): <link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> but no way in IE http://www.learn2holdem.com How can I get my favicons to show up in Mozilla/Firefox? Thanks~ No favicon My Army reunion has a forwarded domain name www.redwarriors.org The html is below. One day Godaddy changed servers or server OS and the indian head went away along with all of the keyboard entered quotation marks which turned into question marks. I think it is only on the front page. I fixed most but the favicon will not re-appear. Godaddy just says to force a refresh but it will not work with a new Crome also. http://www.port-works.com/red_warriors/ In the head at the bottom is this. Copied from a site that works. <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.port-works.com/red_warriors/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> </head> See it here http://www.port-works.com/red_warriors/favicon.ico I made one here that used to have a bullseye. http://www.northwoodswildlifeandwetlandsclub.org/ nada what to do? Does anyone know how to add a favicon to each of a site's pages using the CSS Style sheet as apposed to putting the code on each page? I am attempting to implement a favicon into my website. I have put a 16x16px image in the root folder called favicon.ico, and put the code <head> <title>Jro's World</title> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.jrosworld.com/favicon.ico" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="masterss.css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="external.js"></script> </head> in the header of the homepage. But the favicon is not appearing except in 2 pages of the website. I have a phpBB forum that opens up in a new window, & I have a Gallery photo album that opens up in a new window. The favicon appears on both of these pages. It also appears in FireFTP when I am uploading to the website. But as far as I can tell, it appears nowhere else. It doesn't appear on the homepage, or on any other of the main pages within the site. Can anyone help? The most important place I want it to appear, is on the homepage. Thanks to anyone with any input. Hey everyone... Adding a favicon to my site seemed easy and it works when I preview my page through Dreamweaver in Firefox (not Explorer though), but when I uploaded everything to my site, it doesn't actually appear in the browser. Here is the code I'm using: <link rel="Shortcut Icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico"> I placed it below the <title> and inside the <head> tags. I have the .ico file in my root directory and everything seems to be spelled right. Any ideas why it doesn't work? Thanks. |
