I am trying to use favicon so that visitors to our site see a special
icon in the address bar of their browser and in their list of
bookmarks. Our site is:
http://www.pacuniversity.com/
And have placed the icon in the root folder:
http://www.pacuniversity.com/favicon.ico
II have looked around to see how I can reference it in the html to
make it show up. It seems that this statement in the header should do
the trick:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.pacuniversity.com/
favicon.ico" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon">
It shows up fine in Firefox. But it doesn't work in IE. I have tried
getting rid of the "type" tag in the link element in case that's
confusing it, and I have tried using a relative link address like
href="favicon.ico" or href="/favicon.ico". I am using IE 7 and there
are other web sites that use the exact technique and their favicon
shows up just find.
Could there be something wrong with the icon file? It's just a simple
16x16 icon. I have seen some people recommend that there should be
both a 16x16 and 32x32 picture in the icon file. Why is this? Does
it matter?
Thanks in advance,
John
