Favicon Help

**crystalklear64** · 04-23-2009 11:48 PM

Hello,

Just getting started with my site, so I decide to make a placeholder page while I work on it.

I'm having a hell of a time getting the favicon to work though.

In Dreamweaver, when I test my locally saved site out, it loads just fine, I get the sexy icon and whatnot.

However, when I upload it here, all I get is the nasty little default favicon.

I have the code added correctly within the header tag, I have a properly made 16x16 .ico image.

Everything is uploaded directly into the public html folder, so no need to worry about getting the paths right.

It just seems strange that it works perfectly when I preview it on my machine, but not when its hosted online. I have cleared my cache before trying to view the page many times.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

First of all, have you tried refreshing the pages after uploading the favicon? You might be looking at a cached version.

Is the favicon called 'favicon.ico' and in the root directory?
Also check to make sure you don't have a .htaccess or HTML pages that are looking for a favicon elsewhere or with a different name.

In your html <head> try including

HTML Code:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">

Yes it was, however, I was able to fix the issue by renaming it. Changed the name of the favicon to something different and changed the code to have the same name.

Works fine now.
