Hello guys!

I'm planning to include an icon for my website, so that when people (if they hopefully..) save my page as a Bookmark / Favourite, it will display the icon next to it.

This is what I've done (on every page)
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/misc/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

It does not work - it still only shows the normal Internet Explorer icon.

Any advice ¿

Some browsers don't like just one line. Put both the following in between your <HEAD> tags. If that doesn't work, double check your directory paths. By putting an image there and linking to it.

<link rel="icon" href="/misc/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/misc/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

EDIT: Also note that some hosting services have the favicon disabled. If this is the case, you will have to talk to your provider.

OK, call me stupid guys :blush:

the problem was this :
/misc/favicon.ico

Of course it will not work Hannes! What's wrong with you¿

That aside, I have a misc folder in my site, now the funny part is that the stylesheets are also stored in there, but I refer to them like :
misc/ncc.css

Obviously I need glasses!

Thanx Paul! :thumb:
