Google has the G, Wikipedia has the W…
I’m a developer for this site and I’ve been trying to set up an icon to be displayed in bookmarks and tabs, like in the above sites. I put the favicon.ico in the root of the website and in the bookmarks I started seeing it, but not on the browser’s tabs (i’m using firefox). I then added this line to the header:
<link rel=“shortcut icon” href=“favicon.ico”>
And this made it work on my home server (localhost), but not on the site.
Am I missing something?
I cannot find it in the W3C web standards.
You can see it in IE because IE does not support web standards as well as Mozzie or Firefox.
FWIW, put in the code for IE users just to make them happy.
Your coding looks ok, and it is coming up fine for me.
Firefox on Linux. I can see the icon in the tab.
Firefox on Windows. I can see the icon, as well.
Really? OK I’ll just stop worrying then… But damn it still doesn’t show in my browser.
FireFox on Mac OSX: fine here.
Safari on Mac OSX: icon displays in the address bar; not designed to appear in tabs anyway.
Ah I just needed to clear my cache! Works fine now.
