Hi,
I'm new to this and have been playing around with html basics in notepad but am getting screwed over when trying to create the website icon that is supposed to be located in the address bar / on the tab / in the bookmarks menu.
I'm inserting the code / tab so that my text file looks something like this:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="c:\...\favicon.ico">
</head>
</html>
---> where I've used several files by the name "favicon.ico" (where .ico is the extension) such as a 16x16 image made in paint and one where I have used an online tool to convert an image into the specific format.
I have tried adding the page to my bookmarks.
I have tried a few variations of the code and have tried with a relative url link "favicon.ico" where the file is in the same folder as the html document.
Why is my icon still being ignored?
Thanks, I'd really appreciate any advice, I know this should be really simple stuff but I just cant seem to get it to work at all
Are the files in .ico format? Or did you just take .gif or .bmp or .png or .jpg files and rename them to a .ico name?
Also, "c:\...\favicon.ico" is a path on your filesystem. It needs to be a URL.
A favicon.ico won't show offline, only online on a server.
And yes, relative URLs work just fine for favicons.
