elmas156 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 This is probably a very simple thing but how does one get the small image to appear in the address bar to the left of the actual url, such as the "g" on google? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1Fan Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Create an image (usually 16x16 pixels) in an icon (*.ico) format called "favicon.ico" in your root directory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dabigchz Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 The best way is to create your 16x16 icon, upload it to your server, and use the following code to make it show up, changing the image path to match yours. <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/images/icon.png" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmas156 Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 I've tried all of your suggestions and it works with IE but not Firefox. Are there different methods for different browsers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Are there different methods for different browsers? No. Confirm that you saved the image in .ico format and show us the html you are using that works with IE and fails with FF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraphiX Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I had that issue with one of my sites, maybe wait a little, Firefox may have cached the page if you use it alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmas156 Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 Yeah, it works now... I guess just having the icon named "favicon.ico" and saved in the main directory tells the browser what to do with it. Thanks for all the help.
