I am running win98 with IE6.0
I have seen a few sites that have a shortcut icon.
Their icon displays both in the address bar and in the favorite list.
Examples:
Google: http://www.google.ca/
WDG: http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/
I am trying to add a shortcut icon on my own site.
I have read the following articles:
http://www.cursorarts.com/ca_faqif.html#02
http://allmyfaqs.com/faq.pl?Little_picture_in_the_location_bar
One site has the type="image/x-icon" while the other doesn't?
Funny thing is the source of Google or WDK don't even appear to specify an
icon.
I have tried and tried but I still can't get my icon to show.
This is the begining of my HTML file as it is now:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<LINK rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<LINK rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor=76A9C7 alink=0000FF link=0000FF vlink=0000FF topmargin=0
leftmargin=5 rightmargin=5 bottommargin=0>
<CENTER>
By the way, I am starting to notice that HTML documents now begin with
something like:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN">
Do I need one of those lines? Could that be what I'm missing?
I can't imagine it's a setting in IE since I can see the shortcut icon in
Google etc...
Last thing, Is it possible that I've seen a shortcut icon in the title bar?
Thanks for all,
Guy
