Favicon

[jeckrese]

How come I do not see my favicon on my website?!?

I use the following code:

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

and also

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.jeckrese.com/members/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

and

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.jeckrese.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

Neither one works.


Please help! Thank you!!!

All you need is one line of code, not 3.
Make sure the favicon in uploaded in the root where your site files are.

I visited your site and the favicon loads and disappears, remove the other lines of code and it should work.

Place the favicon in the root as well.

It should work.

When I used my laptop, I saw the icon from the TABS on IE but not from the Address Bar. I changed the code using from the root and I guess it only works from the root cuz I see it now also from the Address bar.

Thank you so much for your help! You're the best!

Glad it worked.

FYI, you really should be using Firefox!

I agree. Much safer to use than IE

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
is incorrect...

Should be...
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
or
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="../favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
add the dots, or remove the DIR.

Then, you must also empty your temp-net files, to see the changes.
Favicons only load on the FIRST page-load, or if you bookmark the site.
