favicon

I know I saw this SOMEPLACE in the documentation - how can you add a favicon to an Able ASP site?

Upload the favicon.ico file in the root folder of your website and check it. I think it should work.

I tried uploading my favicon.ico on the root folder, it shows on firefox but not in IE. Any ideas on what causes this?

Thanks.

I have the same issue with IE.

It works on IE7 now, but not in IE6. I tried downloading an icon editor that generates multiple sizes in one ico file.

You might want to try it too. Heres the link http://www.sibcode.com/icon-editor/index.htm

Well guys,

IE6 only displays favicons in your bookmarks, which they call "Favorites" In fact, the name favicon was coined to mean "Favorites icon".
As time goes on, other browsers have begun making more widespread use of favicons: in the address bar, on tabs and so on. But so far, IE only displays them after you create a bookmark.
Also IE6 will display the favicon in the address bar, but only after it's been bookmarked.

For example if you visit the http://www.plugables.com with IE6 and add the plugables to your Favorites you will see that in Favorites fav icon will be available. Now refresh the page and favicon will be available in the address bar as well

That's great

Cool!

Just for information if any one wants to create the animated favicon

Code: Select all

Animated favcons are easy to create.  You just need to create an animated gif and rename it to favicon.ico. There are many tutorials available for creating the Animated favicons.

Here is what you need to add to make the favorite icons work correctly with Internet Explorer.

Add the following to the Header portion of you header scriptlet so it will be included in all your pages:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.yourdomain.com/favicon.ico" />

Notice the full path to your domain. Obviously you need to replace http://www.yourdomain.com with your domain.

I found that Paypal uses a different Favicon for https compared to http. The icon changes to green, I like this look. Anyone know how to change the favicon like they do?

[kastnerd]

I looked in to it more, They don't change there icon, its just they have a transparent back ground so the green of the SSL EV shows threw in firefox.
