Hello Friends


I have trouble in viewing my icon in address bar.
I have saved an icon in my root directory and also images folder and added the following code into the header tag
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"/>
Please help me with this.



Thanks

    Try deleting the type="image/x-icon" part of the code. You don't need that.

    If that doesn't work, check the obvious: That you have uploaded the .ico image into the correct folder on your website.

      clean you chache, the point the browser straight to the image

      as in http://www.yourdomain.com/images/favicon.ico

      that should force it into showing up

      if its not working, do you use a theme/template? is the favicon in the right place? what do you use?

    1. Clear cache and history.

    2. Use the following code in the <head> of your site
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />

    3. Ensure that your favicon.ico is in the root of your web site. IE8 has some known, documented quirk whereby it'll try to request your favourites icon from the root of your web site.

    Once you've done all of the above, the icon will display.
