i am not able to see the fav icon in IE and also only in the tabbed heading in firefox Vlasta (2005-10-15 00:00:00):
I have checked your site and the favicon is showing without problems in both IE and Firefox on my computer. Did you try all the hints given above? Especially adding the page to favorites and clearing IE cache before. Unknown author (2005-10-17 00:00:00):
Hi, Vlasta (2005-10-17 00:00:00):
Well, your web site is OK, the problem is with your computer. Here are some more extreme recommendations: change your default browser to IE, delete all bookmarks to your site, clear IE cache, history folder, and recycle bin, restart computer, bookmark your page and then click a few times on the bookmark. Unknown author (2005-11-02 00:00:00):
This Favicon things is quite silly on internet explorer. One thing you can do, if you want the icon to be visible in your explorer, do like you do when you make a shortcut to a page on you desktop but drag the URL (or rather the little e-icon nex to the adress) to the internet explorer window itself so that it reloads the page. Do that twice. Suddenly the icon is visible. Reloading alone does not cut it. Considering that it was internet explorer that came up with this thing with an icon its really super-silly that it works fantasticly on Firefox... Unknown author (2005-11-20 00:00:00):
thanks so much Unknown author (2005-11-27 00:00:00):
Favicon can also be used in the latest Firefox to display a .gif file and hence a moving icon! make sure you put in two of the favicon generators as follows: Unknown author (2005-11-27 00:00:00):
see an example here: fewtrem (david wood) Vlasta (2005-11-27 00:00:00):
Thanks for the info about animated favicons. geofgibson (2005-11-28 00:00:00):
I can't get IE to show my favicon. It shows up in Safari and Firefox with no problem. I've tried the various steps recommended, but to no avail. geofgibson (2005-11-28 00:00:00):
Of course, now that I've refreshed the page 2 dozen or so times, the favicon now shows up! Unknown author (2005-12-05 00:00:00):
I wasn't aware of Fx being able to show gif instead of ico... good to know. Now if I can just figure out how to make my idea look good at such a small size I'm all set! Laurent (2005-12-19 00:00:00):
Sorry I did try all the paths above and read all the comments but still cant get it shown in ie in my website Vlasta (2005-12-20 00:00:00):
Your favicon is a renamed BMP. While Firefox understands it, IE requires a real Windows icon. Unknown author (2005-12-24 00:00:00):
thanx a lot Vlasta, you seem to be right and I'll change it (in fact it's a renamed .png) Unknown author (2006-01-02 00:00:00):

This page was very helpful! I've been looking everywhere to find out how to get an 'icon'... (didn't even know what it was called!) but now I have one working... if only all browers showed the animated one! Unknown author (2006-01-02 00:00:00):
checkout crunkedout.com and see if you can see the animated one or the still one... Vlasta (2006-01-02 00:00:00):
Firefox show the animated one there Unknown author (2006-01-05 00:00:00):
Thanks alot, people like this make the web go around =) tpkyteroo (2006-01-31 00:00:00):
I can not get the link to work on my site and I do use Mozilla Firefox. I tried using an ico file and a gif file. I changed the href different ways and it still does not work. Could it be that the server that hosts my site needs to allow one to use this feature? This does not make sense to me, but I can't imagine what I could possibly be doing wrong. The java script console just gives me my css errors. Thanks! tpkyteroo (2006-01-31 00:00:00):
I got it to work by using the gif file with the full url address to the image. I realized that I tried the full url address with the ico file instead of the gif file. Either my host does not support ico files, or the program I used does not allow ico files to actually work in a trial version. Thanks!!!! sHasHaNk kuMAr (2006-02-16 00:00:00):
my favicon doesn't seem to work either! do help me out some 1! Vlasta (2006-02-17 00:00:00):
You need to specify the icon in a top level frame, which probably is not under your control on geocities. pharius (2006-05-05 00:00:00):
Great guide! I made a favicon for my site and it works fine in Firefox and IE7 but not in IE6. I tried adding the page to favorites and it shows there but not in the address bar. I also deleted all of my temp internet files but still no luck. Do you have any other suggedtions? Unknown author (2006-05-09 00:00:00):
Hi, I added this text on my html page.. but IE7 still doesn't show the favicon.ico. <link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" /> I'm running this locally, Works great in Mozilla Firefox, Opera 8.54, Netscape 8.0.4. I also did all the things that you said. Please help.. Thanks. Vlasta (2006-05-09 00:00:00):
Try using absolute path. For IE6, the icon should be in the webserver root (http://localhost/favicon.ico). Also, it could be incorrect icon format. jbolton (2006-05-11 00:00:00):
Hi, having no luck with favicon showing up in IE: http://www.invasivespeciesinfo.gov/test.shtml Please help! The Pirate (2006-05-18 00:00:00):
Hey - wow - i thought this one was gonna be the fix! \ nikko (2006-05-24 00:00:00):
Even Google does not show its favicon in IE so what chance have we??? Unknown author (2006-05-26 00:00:00):
nikko is right... Unknown author (2006-06-01 00:00:00):
Thanks for your suggestions on the installation of Favicon. Thanks, Unknown author (2006-06-29 00:00:00):
For who can't display favicon on IE. kathiek (2006-07-12 00:00:00):
I have successfully posted a favicon at www.firstnemo.org - is there a way for it to show up in the Title bar at the top of the browser (and not just in the URL address bar)? I tried to add an image tag as part of the title but that didn't work. Vlasta (2006-07-12 00:00:00):
AFAIK it is not possible with current browsers. MrBernard (2006-07-18 00:00:00):
It seems to me that IE 6 only adds favicon for bookmarked pages. So if your site is dynamic then one would have to add bookmarks for all pages... You can easily test this with for instance Wikipedia. Firefox works like a dream... Unknown author (2006-08-03 00:00:00):
mine shows up in my favorites.. it has both the 16x16 and a 32x32 in the ico file... shows in fav list and when browsing the fav folder it shows the big one... but does not show in the address bar... winxp, ie6 Unknown author (2006-10-05 00:00:00):
To get this to work with IE 6, make sure a 16x16, 32x32, and 48x48 in the ico file. I tried all kinds of tricks to get it to show, but that was the only thing that worked. Unknown author (2006-10-11 00:00:00):
it's fine sbmkrishna (2006-10-18 00:00:00):
My IE browser is not showing the favicon.ico. If i open like www.softcrylic.com/favicon.ico, the browser is not showing the icon. I even tried Go to tools> internet options> advanced> navigation> activate personalized "favorite" menu. But its not working. I think if i can dispaly that icon in the browser, then it works in the address bar. So please help me what should i do to display that icon in the browser Vlasta (2006-10-18 00:00:00):
Your favicon is a PNG image, not a real icon. While Firefox accepts any image format, you need a proper .ico file for IE. sisam (2006-10-21 00:00:00):
I tried everything suggested above to see the favicon in IE but it is not working. www.nazaydemir.com is the website... it is working perfectly in firefox.... Unknown author (2006-10-22 00:00:00):
I tryed the code but supose doenst work whitout a webpage Unknown author (2006-10-27 00:00:00):
I am trying to add a favicon to my site, but I want to test it first to make sure that it works. Does this code work - <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico"> or do I need to direct it to my site somewhere for example <link rel="shortcut icon" href="www.example.com/images/favicon.ico"> Vlasta (2006-10-29 00:00:00):
The first version is correct. If you want your favicon to be shown in IE6, it must be in the root of your site and called exactly favicon.ico Dave (2006-10-30 00:00:00):
Thank you for responding Vlasta but it is still not working, <link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.ico"> I have it 16x16 the correct code, not sure what to do from here, any suggestions? Vlasta (2006-10-30 00:00:00):
You should use absolute path - that is including the leading slash. And you should place it to the root directory, not to any subdirectory. Otherwise it would not work with IE6. Other than that, I would suggest to read the previous comments. SeattleRetro (2006-11-11 00:00:00):
Just want to say thanks for your site--I was able to get the icon working for IE6 finally. manzanofab (2006-11-21 00:00:00):
Hi my name is fabian i dont know what happen with the ie my favicon.ico is in the root file, and it works with the opera but it does not work in the ie what could be the problem, Vlasta (2006-11-22 00:00:00):
Favicon should (and in case of IE must) be an .ico file. It is not enough to rename a .jpg to .ico. Unknown author (2006-11-26 00:00:00):
Wow Girish (2006-11-29 00:00:00):
I had added the give statement in the head section of my web page. It is working all fine in Mozilla but not working on Internet Explorer. Though I have IE6 but it is not working. I had also tried to add the page as favourite but still it is showing the IE icon Vlasta (2006-11-30 00:00:00):
There are more hints in the comment section, but usually this kind of problem is caused by slow refresh of IE. DiverFrank (2006-12-02 00:00:00):
Hi Vlasta (2006-12-02 00:00:00):
I have checked your site and it seems that you have not uploaded the favicon DiverFrank (2006-12-03 00:00:00):
Hi Vlasta (2006-12-04 00:00:00):
Works all right from my computer in both IE6 and IE7. One minor thing - your icon is 32x32 pixels, you should add a 16x16 format. TomasV (2006-12-04 00:00:00):
I can't get this working again using IE7. Firefox is all good. ico created using photoshop plug-in. 16x16pix 400bytes. Vlasta (2006-12-05 00:00:00):
use rel="shortcut icon", not just rel="icon" and use absolute path to the icon ... href="/favicon.ico" <- just like in the example in the article Unknown author (2006-12-07 00:00:00):
My icon is not showing. Any help would be appreciated. It shows in Mozilla no problem, but not in any version of IE. The URL is http://tesolarabia.org Vlasta (2006-12-07 00:00:00):
Works all right from here. Unknown author (2006-12-09 00:00:00):
My icon is not showing up www.bikini2990.net dasadler (2006-12-10 00:00:00):
I think I have done everything right yet the favicon does not appear. At least not for me. Anyone else see it? http://appliedintegrity.us Vlasta (2006-12-10 00:00:00):
both bikini2990.net and appliedintegrity.us favicons show without problems from here. blakenewman-com (2006-12-10 00:00:00):
It works when I type blakenewman.com but does not when I type www.blakenewman.com. Is that a matter of my cache or my temporary internet files? Vlasta (2006-12-10 00:00:00):
works for both addresses for me, BUT: favicon should be 16x16 pixels - yours has all but this format and a file length of over 350kB! Vivid (2006-12-18 00:00:00):
www.vividbroadcast.co.uk has an icon that works fine in anything but IE. in IE6 it appears in the favorites when added but not in the URL bar. Vlasta (2006-12-19 00:00:00):
After you add it to favorites in IE6 and click on that link in favorites, it will show in address bar. But only for that single page. UKuser (2006-12-19 00:00:00):
Hi. Done all you have said and I can't seem to view the favicon? My URL is www.directsubmit.co.uk Any ideas? Unknown author (2006-12-19 00:00:00):

I can't seem to get my favicon to view on the page. I use IE 7 and the page is alchristian.com Any help would be appreciated. Vlasta (2006-12-20 00:00:00):
www.directsubmit.co.uk and www.advantageofficesuites.com work without problems. Favicon at alchristian.com should only contain 16x16 pixel images. Unknown author (2006-12-20 00:00:00):
I can't get it to work either. Does favicon show up for you in www.patong.biz? Unknown author (2006-12-21 00:00:00):
hi, Regards, Wheatworks (2006-12-27 00:00:00):
I find it actually takes two lines in the page headers to make a favicon work well across all browsers: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.wheatworks.com/favicon.ico"> Perhaps this will help those with problems in certain browsers. Rick Wheat Unknown author (2006-12-27 00:00:00):
Mine won't work on IE 7.0 GoldDog (2006-12-30 00:00:00):
Wheatworks, I added your extra tag, but IE 6 still continues to ignore my favicon. Any other workarounds exist for IE? Vlasta (2006-12-31 00:00:00):
The two lines are not necessary unless you want to use different favicons in IE and Firefox. The rel="icon" line is ignored by IE and only affects Firefox. Unknown author (2007-01-02 00:00:00):
I am using IE6. I tried all above said tricks. But the icon is showing in Favorites list only and not in Address Bar. It is working find in Firefox. Unknown author (2007-01-05 00:00:00):
I am using IE7. I tried all the above tricks mentioned and still I can’t see Favicon in the address bar. It is working find in Fire fox. Can you help me with this? Melusine (2007-01-09 00:00:00):
I am in the same situation. Have tried for a while now to get IE7.0 to show the favicon on my site but no luck. Also went through all the steps mentioned above - no change. Any other suggestions? This is driving me nuts... RSC (2007-01-09 00:00:00):

Yet another case of works in FF, not in IE (only tried IE 6). URL... http://development.web.bareescentuals.demandware.net/on/demandware.store/Sites-BareMinerals-Site you can open: http://development.web.bareescentuals.demandware.net/favicon.ico Tried the provided suggestions, but no joy. Maybe someone from MS will visit this site and tell us all what we're doing wrong? Vlasta (2007-01-13 00:00:00):
The icon file is OK, but it does not show from my computer either. Did you try to use "/favicon.ico" instead of referencing a different domain? mike (2007-01-17 00:00:00):
I've added a favicon to my web page and it displays in the favorities but not in the address bar. I'm using IE7 is there something I'm not doing? Tysonjm (2007-01-19 00:00:00):
How come favicons work in IE7 for sites like www.bankofamerica.com or clickforlessons.com, since when you view their source code, there's no refernce to the <link rel= ... method? I'm confused; how are they doing it? :0 I'm unable to get it to work for www.icedpitamusiclessons.com by the way. Vlasta (2007-01-19 00:00:00):
Sometimes browsers just use for favicon.ico from the root directory. And your site works OK. Tysonjm (2007-01-19 00:00:00):
Sorry, not sure why my previous post reposted itself. Funny, you're seeing my site work OK with the favicon. I've tried it on 5 computers now with different versions of IE to no avail. Very strange! Vlasta (2007-01-20 00:00:00):
I have opened it in IE6, added to bookmarks and favicon appeared... Then after a click on the bookmark it also showed in address bar as it should. Tysonjm (2007-01-21 00:00:00):
Thanks, I did finally get IE6 to work only after adding to bookmarks. IE7 still doesn't, however. I still wonder though how these sites do it, that I've never been to before, much less bookmarked. Like yours, it loaded upon my first visit in IE7! Why's it work? Tysonjm (2007-01-21 00:00:00):
Fixed it by adding: type="image/x-icon" to the line. So, <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"> Unknown author (2007-01-21 00:00:00):
ADI I have tried this line at IE7 and it didn’t work… Unknown author (2007-01-23 00:00:00):
me using https protocol is there any problem with https for displaying favicon. regards, mickapoos (2007-01-27 00:00:00):
I have followed the directions, my website is www.find-my-plane.com and the favicon isn't displaying. Thank you Vlasta (2007-01-28 00:00:00):
Looks OK form here in Firefox and IE6. One note though - you are missing the closing ">" on some of your meta tags. paradox (2007-01-30 00:00:00):
The favicon never sticks with IE 7 on this site. I've tried all the different tags, just nothing, all is well in Mozialla. It creases me, I duplictaed everything here perfectly, cleared the cache, used and absolute url, modidifed the tag from above, added the (space)/> at the end of the tag for xhtml, still nothing. Any ideas? Vlasta (2007-01-31 00:00:00):
The problem is in your favicon.ico file - it is a renamed gif image and IE requires a real .ico format. paradox (2007-01-31 00:00:00):
Thank you so much, I appreciate it. I apologize for the triple comment post, I didn't realize a refresh was re-posting. Again, bless you for the answer. Thank you. paradox (2007-01-31 00:00:00):
I am not really sure what a "real" ico format is, other than re-naming it. Photoshop doesn't recognize ico files, and I could only work with the jpg that was given to me. Okay, unclear on the concept, it's not exactly a new experience for me in this life. Go to those sites that generate this ico file for you, since you can't do it. I did. I replaced it on the server twice and it still won't show in IE. In interviewing for a Manager job so I can flee IE. It's not worth it in this life. Anything further you can suggest, thank you very much, I'm not stressing. It's a bona fide ico on the root, still klunks. Vlasta (2007-01-31 00:00:00):
I have checked the site from IE6 and it seems to work fine. It is probably just a caching issue on your computer. gf (2007-02-01 00:00:00):
Sharan: Hi, as discussed in the forum, I added the favicon.ico in to my Tomcat web server (ROOT Folder). Is this enough to make the favicon work for all the pages? My requirement is to have the little icon on the address bar without bookmarking the page. We cannot request the user to bookmark to see our company icon. How do I force this to happen with out bookmark? Our application has around 50 jsp files. Should I had <LINK> element in all the jsp files. Please help me out. Thanks, Sharan. pc (2007-02-01 00:00:00):
Hi, Vlasta (2007-02-01 00:00:00):
Sharan: you should add the <link ... - it does not maater what technology you use on the server. And for IE6 susers must add the page to favorites, for other browsers, the icon shows just by visiting the page. Patricia: Your favicon works in IE7, it just takes a more time to display, because there is relatively lot of data on your page. Unknown author (2007-02-02 00:00:00):
I tried all the directions to display it for IE but i cannot get it to display. I can however get it in firefox and opera. Can you help. www.pay4rent.com Unknown author (2007-02-03 00:00:00):
ok, can anyone help me here? Tried all these suggestions, but am using joomla in combo with a one-fits-all template. Got so many index.htm, index.phps all over, I'm just lost. Favicon works in Firefox... here it ain't. http://blakesands.com Thanks. Vlasta (2007-02-03 00:00:00):
pay4rent: Unknown author (2007-02-04 00:00:00):
hey, this is the blakesands.com poster again. Favicon is everywhere, including the root, but joomla has a special config for it, and wants it in the /images/ folder. And, TA-DA! It works for me, and I hope for you too. AGAIN, I concur... it is first a file location issue AND also a cache problem. Also, adding it to favs seems to help the icon show correctly. Thanks all for your help. I spent hours on this, only to discover from another computer that favicon shows just fine in IE on the first try. Unknown author (2007-02-04 00:00:00):
blakesands.com poster, again, here... another interesting fact. IE ignores any icon that is not 16x16 and in official ico format. Search for a free icon editor if you need to adjust size, there are lots of free and trial ico editors out there. Unknown author (2007-02-05 00:00:00):

Hi, I feel that i've added the favicon.ico tag correctly: <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> I've gone over all these forums and cant find the answer. I generated the Icon using an Icon generator and it looks good in those other browers, but most of our people use IE. Thanks a lot! Vlasta (2007-02-09 00:00:00):

I have one question..How can I use this on a php site that has no html intro? HardHead (2007-02-16 00:00:00):
Sonny Tee I see the Icon just fine on your site. Looks Good Vlasta (2007-02-16 00:00:00):
There should be no problem with php. Php, like all similar technologies, just produce html code. But, of course, you have to find the right place in the script you are using. HardHead (2007-02-16 00:00:00):
LOL yea so I see but everything I have tried hasnt worked.. But I'll keep trying Unknown author (2007-02-21 00:00:00):
firefox used to display favicons just fine until the latest version (2.0.0.1) - then they showed up from other sites, but not mine, until I added the "shortcut icon" tag in the headers. Strange, because firefox never needed that before as long as favicon.ico was in the root web directory. Unknown author (2007-02-23 00:00:00):
I have tried everything I know to put this on php but nothing works Help!!!!!!!! Unknown author (2007-02-24 00:00:00):
same problem as with sonny.tee........... Mozilla Firefox n all those "good" browsers work great in showing the icons.....but IE7 juzz blatantly refuses to show it....... all others find the icons even if I place it in subfolders n give the appropriate path..........

I put the link as stated above, I've tried everything but the icon is not showing at all, I'm using IE7 and dreamweaver. I don't know why its not working, I've also deleted temp files but still the same, I don't usually have problems seeing changes made to the website, Please advise if I've missed anything, thanx Vlasta (2007-04-02 00:00:00):

OK, I think I done it, the file although on my pc is 16 x 16 , for some reason it was showing as 48 x 48 on the server... I removed it all and tried again, seemed to have sorted the problem for now, I also think it only lets a genuine ico file work better than a transformed gif or jpeg Unknown author (2007-04-04 00:00:00):

No, you icon is not in root folder, but actually in /~vjezic folder. I know that for you it seems to be a root folder, but for browsers, it is not, the root folder would be http://www.inet.hr/ Unknown author (2007-04-05 00:00:00):

Problem fixed - it was actually a problem with the script and the way it formatted the favicon.ico image - now corrected. WillowsHeart (2007-05-06 00:00:00):
Hi I'm hoping you can help as I'm rather perplexed! I created a favicon, uploaded it to my root folder, inserted the link into my main index page (as in example on this page) but the icon is only showing against my 'forum' page and not the others. I can't work out why it's showing on that one page when it's not even the page I inserted the link. I'm getting really frustrated now so any help will be greatly appreciated Vlasta (2007-05-06 00:00:00):
It depends on the browser you are using. Sometimes it is enough to have favicon.ico in root folder for the icon to appear, sometimes the browser does not fetch the icon, because it already has the default one cached for that page. WillowsHeart (2007-05-06 00:00:00):
I cleared my cache and hey presto its working . . thanks for your help Unknown author (2007-05-10 00:00:00):

Icon was being displayed, now it's not. Any tips? Vlasta (2007-06-16 00:00:00):
If you did not change anything then probably the cached icon on your computer was updated or dropped. Re-add it to your favorites if your are using IE6. Unknown author (2007-06-26 00:00:00):
Hi, www.eyeonbooks.com.au seems to work in FF but not in IE7? Can you please have a look? Vlasta (2007-06-26 00:00:00):

Looks OK from here, probably just not updated cache on your computer. But you should remove the 32x32 pixel format from your favicon or at least make it similar to the 16x16 format. Unknown author (2007-07-11 00:00:00):

Yes, to the top level page, that defines the frames. Chris L (2007-07-12 00:00:00):

enjoying your site...i already had the "<link rel..." already in place with the addition of "type="image/x-icon".

... no problems in my IE7 Unknown author (2007-07-20 00:00:00):
just an interesting note, i changed the file name and code from favicon.ico to navini.ico and it worked immediately in IE7. something was evidently cached somewhere. in any case, if i learn anything fun i'll share it. Unknown author (2007-07-24 00:00:00):

Downloaded trial version but all the favicons I tried to create ended up 25k. Used the online version & it worked great (<2k). Found advice true: Comes up great in Mozilla; a struggle to get it to come up in IEv6 or v7. Vlasta (2007-08-10 00:00:00):
The online tool is good for favicons, the normal editor gives more freedom (you can for example create favicons with transparency and smooth edges). You should delete all but 16x16 images when using it for favicons. Unknown author (2007-08-10 00:00:00):

Hi There I have tried everything to make my fav icon come up on IE 6. But no luck. I have provided a hard coded path to the icon file in my Header control, added as bookmark etc after clearing previous bookmarks, Temp files etc but no luck. I noticed that when I browse to my icon file through IE and look at its properties - it shows Type: "Not Available". Is this causing the issue? Why is that? When I go to the icon file through file structure on the server and go properties - it shows it as a 16x16 .ico file. Please help. Thanks. Jatin Unknown author (2008-04-22 00:00:00):

experttitsolutions.biz seems to be offline. As for the IE6 problem, make sure, the favicon.ico is really an .ico file, not just renamed .bmp, it is in the root folder and called exactly favicon.ico. You may aslo check it mime type if it is not something weird. With IE6, it is often a cache issue, try a clean computer, add your page to favorites and click it. Unknown author (2008-04-22 00:00:00):

I copied and pasted the line <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico"> and the icon worked with firefox but not IE. I removed the forward slash in front of favicon and it works in both firefox and IE. Unknown author (2008-07-01 00:00:00):
wouldn't show in IE 7 until I moved it to images cne1955 (2008-07-01 00:00:00):
the forward slash makes a difference. If the webpage was in the images directory and favicon was in the root, it should still work if it is addressed properly. href="../favicon.ico". If your statement said href="/images/favicon.ico", it would not work for the same reason href="/favicon.ico" does not work. Unknown author (2008-07-04 00:00:00):

I tried doing all of the suggestions in here, however I still can't get IE7 to diplay the icon in the address bar. Do you actually need a published Web Site? I'm just trying to test it on my PC locally (XP SP2) and have simply setup a folder the sample html (index.html) and a favicon.ico file. I also have a sub-solder /images with the favicon in it, but neither work. Any more suggestions? craig.nanango (2008-08-03 00:00:00):

This is probably primitive ( and more likely redundant), but I put the following three lines my header tags... <LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="../favicon.ico"> and now it works in IE as well as Firefox. tss4info (2008-09-07 00:00:00):
This is driving me mad! My IE6 Favorites (yes I have tried deleting and re-adding) ALL show with the standard IE icon. The only thing I haven't tried is rebooting (XP Home) I'm sure it usen't to be like this and have slight suspicions of the beta Chrome (which seems to have affected some Firefox settings). Icons work fine on Firefox, Chrome and Safari. Unknown author (2008-09-17 00:00:00):
I am trying to add a favicon to a website that is on a webserver with an html folder that holds all of the webpages. The pages are created in Microsoft Frontbage. I have saved my favicon to the html folder. Is there something else I need to do since I am not actually writing html code for my website? Unknown author (2008-09-20 00:00:00):
I have been trying to add a favicon to IE6 for longer than I care to mention. I have read NUMEROUS articles and have taken everyone's advice. I also followed the instructions on MSDN and have not yet found anything telling me how to get this to work. I cannot force people to add my page to their favorites just to see my icon. Yes, I cleared my cache, favorites, offline pages, closed IE and restarted and refreshed. I have played with MULTIPLE versions of the <LINK ...> statement and it still doesn't work. If anyone has successfully gotten this to work, without putting the full URL in the link statement (I need it dynamic so I can develop on LOCALHOST before moving to a server), I would like to hear how you did it, and I would like to see it to prove you did it (I'm a skeptic and need proof). Everything I've read says it should be working, yet it's not. No one has offered the proof by giving me a URL to look at (with the favicon in the address line) with the exact code used and instructions to get it to work. If you are just going to give me your advice, please don't respond to this, I've heard it all. I'm looking for a solution (with proof) that works all the time. Unknown author (2008-09-23 00:00:00):

@ The Coming Wave It makes little or no sense. What annoys me even more so is that I made another website and the favicon appears flawlessly there, yet it only gives me trouble with the new site I am working on. Perhaps it takes IE longer to figure out that it needs to display a favicon? IE takes forever to render plain HTML and run Javascript, so... azp (2008-10-03 00:00:00):

For some reason IE does not like favicons that are 16 x 16. if you make it 32 x 32 then and upload it to the root directory then it will display properly, no need for the rel=icon code either... i struggled with this for many hours... just through trial and error this managed to work.

Sorry, but I don't feel like registering. Please check out the (draft) standard for "favicon" at the W3C site ("How to Add a Favicon to your Site"). The current HTML standard and XHTML standard are somewhat different from what things have been. Also note that since the standard itself is not actually a standard yet (it's in draft), things may change again (but I doubt the "link" tag will change much, if at all from what you see below), but it makes my description of this below a little complicated. HTML: XHTML: Note that the W3C states that the "profile" attribute and value as shown in the "head" tag should be added as shown for the purpose of properly defining the meaning "icon" value of the "rel" attribute. However, it is my opinion (professionally, I'm a computer programmer and a website designer/coder) that at this time the use of the "profile" attribute is completely superfluous. (I say this, because if you look at the profile that the W3C gives as an example, it seems to provide nothing at all in terms of giving information to a browser that the browser would use to know what to do. The one I'm seeing as I write this seems purely for human reading.) In the "link" tags above, the "rel" attribute is simply "icon", not "shortcut icon". (In fact, the format of the value "shortcut icon" is bad - contrary to current standards - because it has a space in it, and in current standard the space is a delimiter, so "shortcut icon" would be referring to two different link types, one called "shortcut" and another one called "icon".) The "type" and "href" attribute values are examples, but note that only the following three values are allowed values for "type" (corresponding to the MIME types of the allowed image formats of the icon file): type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" Note that previously "image/x-icon" was used, because it was an unregistered MIME type - unregistered, meaning that Microsoft had never registered that image file format type officially with the organization, IANA, where all MIME types are officially established. But that particular image format is now registered, so from now on you should use "image/vnd.microsoft.icon" for that type. (Note also that a lot of web server software does not have the new MIME type for ICO files configured, so they will ignore what you've specified anyway, and send it as "text/html" or "text/plain" - which is what they do for every type you specify for anything that the server is not configured to recognize as a valid MIME type.) This means that you can now make the icon in either the up-until-now typical ICO format, or you can also make it either a GIF file or a PNG file. But remember that whatever format you choose to put the image file in, you must still comply with using a geometry of 16x16 or 32x32 pixels, and either an 8-bit or 24-bit color depth. (Obviously, if you make a GIF, then you can't have 24-bit color; however, a GIF file allows for animation if you want to use it.) The reason I'm writing about this is because I just recently had occasion to want to use the "favicon" with a web site, which I've never done before, and googling around and digging up relevant information I've been studying this. (I also just updated the Wikipedia article on the subject, which is how I ended up here in fact from the link to this page that is at the bottom of the Wikipedia article.) - Todd S.

Have you checked the files favicon.ico or favicon.gif really exist in the same folder of the page? Try to use the slash to tell the browser that the favicon is in the root folder like this <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico"> There is also a page which check and download the favicon of others You can see from there how your favicon is displayed to the world.

Hi, I am hoping someone might be able to help me on the following issues: My website is www.clearlyorganizedlife.com. 1) In IE 8 I cannot get my favicon to show at all. UPDATE: SOLVED! Finally got it working - I erased the cookies and other temporary files. I think it was the cookies that were the problem. 2) In Foxfire, why does the favicon only look good in 2 of the 3 spots where it appears - it's okay on the tab, it's okay in the address bar, but doesn't look good in the bookmark. (It's jagged and not transparent.) UPDATE: SOLVED! Same issue as above - I deleted the cookies and other temporary files and now the browser is using the same version everywhere. 3) How can I get my favicon to look really crisp - like Yahoo's or Craig's list? What type of file do I need to begin with? I turned a 300 dpi jpg into a gif with 16 colors. I'm not a graphics designer, but know a little about Illustrator and Photoshop. STILL NEED HELP HERE.... Any help you can provide on these issues would be great. Thanks!! cdl (2010-03-01 19:32:33):
Hello TravellingInPink, I see your problem in both FireFox 3.6 and Internet Explorer 8. If you would like to see my favicon the address is >> http://cdl.viviti.com. I started with an old preexisting 200 dpi file, normally I would bump up the resolution to 300-600 dpi, but the effort was intended merely to test the outcome. Usually speaking, the higher the resolution (dpi/ppi) the better the image and the larger the file. My original file was a bitmap 246 x 246 pixels / 1.23 x 1.23 inches @ 200 dpi (222k), transparified & saved as portable network graphic (42.8 k), the resulting generated icon was 244k. I used Paint Shop Pro 9.01 to produce the bitmap and portable network graphic, & @icon 1.21 (safely available through cnet download.com >> http://download.cnet.com/Icon-Sushi/3000-2195_4-10547564.html?tag=mncol;rbxcrdl1) to produce the icon. Aicon works well, is simple, & is freeware. All I did was open the .png in @icon 1.21 and saved it as a single icon. It has been a while since I used the RealWorld Icon Editor (prior to version 2008.1), I loved using it when I did. In RealWorld Icon Editor you have the option to save as a smooth Windows XP icon or a Windows Vista icon (see >> http://www.rw-designer.com/vista-icon). There are other options which may assist you in achieving a smoother image in RealWorld Icon Editor. When using RealWorld Icon Editor I would simply open the 200-300 dpi image and save in Windows XP or Windows Vista icons. If the image I was working with was too small the results would be a bit pixelated, I believe 512 x 512 is recommended. You might also want to try to smooth out the edges of your original with shape based anti-aliasing and/or various blurring or smoothing adjustments/effects in PhotoShop. I haven't used PhotoShop yet but I hear that it is much the same as Paint Shop Pro. If you are using RealWorld Icon Editor you may want to take a look at "Related resources: " here >> http://www.rw-designer.com/3D_icon_editor.php. There is also a "free to try" convenient service online for rendering vector images >> http://vectormagic.com/home. You may contact me via my website's navigation panel, http://cdl.viviti.com, if you need further assistance. Good Luck!

Big white space at the top of the page... above "How to make a fav-icon?" Unknown author (2010-09-17 20:17:46):
You might want to mention that Firefox and Chrome will accept 32x32 .ico files as favicons. These look ALOT better than 16x16. To do this so that IE shows the 16x16 file and firefox/chrome show the 32x32: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon2.ico" > Where favicon.ico is 16x16 and favicon2.ico is 32x32. Firefox and chrome grab the first one and since IE can't show the first one, moves on to the second one. This is the only way to order it as far as I could tell. Also, FYI, it looks like chrome will actually show a 64x64 icon, but very few screens would be big enough to notice any difference. I can't tell if firefox will show a 64x64. Vlasta (2010-09-17 21:04:36):
Well, there is a bit of misinformation in your post. I definitely would not recommend placing two favicon links into your page html, there is no advantage. If you want to be hi-tech, you can place both 32x32 and 16x16 images into a single .ico file. IE accepts larger icons just fine and actually uses them (unlike FF or Chrome) if you use higher DPI screen mode. If it appeared to you that 32x32 favicon looked better in FF or Chrome, your 16x16 favicon was probably not well designed. Unknown author (2010-09-23 09:17:45):

It seems that CTRL F5 on page (full refresh - no cache) doesn't refresh favicons. If your icon wasn't valid first time you opened your the site from browser, this invalid icon gets cashed and doesn't refresh until you open it directly (full path to icon file) and then go with CTRL F5.

What a wonderful site. Think I'll be coming back. In the meantime I have a problem with a favicon.ico. I made one, uploaded it and everything was hunky dory but the icon itself was rubbish. So, I made another one to replace it. It's a whole lot slicker and works in F/fox; Opera; Chrome; Safari for windows. The problen is that no matter how many times I clear my cache, or "add to favorites" or "add to favorites bar", IE8 refuses to show anything other than it's own default icon. Unknown author (2011-02-15 13:21:31):
would this make a difference if i use a local root instead of a url link? Vlasta (2011-02-15 13:27:26):

I beg to differ with the statement that Firfox supports favicons flawlessly. I uploaded our own favicon.ico to the root folder to replace the web host's favicon that was placed there whey they first set up the site for us. Chrome and IE8 picked up the new favicon without a problem. Firefox 3.6.13 would not pick it up even after deleting browsing history, removing and recreating the bookmark, etc. Finally, I installed the Favicon Picker extension available from Mozilla and that did the trick. Unknown author (2011-02-25 19:16:35):
Browsing to [yourdomain]/favicon.ico did force both IE8 and Firefox to load the image when dumping history and pressing Ctrl+F5 didn't work, and only Chrome was displaying the favicon. However, Firefox first asked me what program I wanted to use to open the image and I had to select Firefox. I also already had installed the Favicon Picker. Thanks for the tip, though!

works perfectly in explorer but won't load in firefox. However, favicon loads perfectly if I puts its url in the address bar and search for it in firefox.

I've tried all of the advice posted here but only see my new favicon in the url/location bar if I add it favicon, favicon.ico or favicon.gif to my doc root html path in the firefox browser: www.mydomain.com/favicon (and in chrome it doesn't show up in the url at all, only in the body of the page) I have 2 different urls/sites/virtual hosts on my dev server, and the other favicon works well for the other domain. I don't want to use the same favicon for both domains though! Guess I should try another image and see if I get the same results...but if the favicon doesn't work due to the nature of the image, it wouldn't show up in the url/location bar at all...I wish my apache error log would tell me something! Unknown author (2012-04-24 02:10:47):
ok it was very slow, probably due to substandard hardware: the favicon showed up first in a subdirectory page, then on the home page, but it was an older favicon. The new one now appears in chrome (both pages) so it should renew itself in firefox soon...no wait, I had to clear the browser history, which is weird since I've set firefox to never remember history! Anyway, crisis averted, thanks. Unknown author (2012-04-25 14:26:41):

Gautam is right. Make sure that the code is capitalized or you'll go crazy. absterninja (2012-05-14 04:15:02):
Is there a way to add a favicon to all of your pages at once? Vlasta (2012-05-14 08:53:20):
Only if you use some kind of content management system that allows you to modify parts of all your pages in one place. If you are using plain html files, you would need to change each page. Unknown author (2012-05-22 13:09:34):

your favicon.ico is just a renamed .png file (why none read the "Frequent problems and solutions" section?) -> convert it to .ico Unknown author (2012-07-29 06:54:28):

this is my website www.quotophobia.weebly.com how should i put it here? Unknown author (2012-08-05 09:38:04):
idot it is not working WTF Unknown author (2012-08-06 22:21:05):
The <link> works if placed in the HEAD of the document. Make sure the ico file is located in the root, or next to the document. If not, specify the path. Also make sure the name is 'favicon.ico', or update the bit of code to reflect the proper name. Side Not: Whoever commented above me, please note that this response was in no way to assist you. Do not call any developer an idiot. If you would have read through the entire guide, applied a bit of common sense, you would have had better luck! Unknown author (2012-08-07 11:07:30):
its not showing. Should i rename my icon as favicon or not? Unknown author (2012-08-09 05:06:48):

Even after clearing the cache, I'm still not seeing the favicon I made. I'm using Chrome. Made a simple website in notepad++ to have my school's bell schedules show up as a webpage in Chrome. Using Dropbox to host both files (this is probably my problem). Here is the source for reference: <HTML> Any thoughts? Vlasta (2012-09-14 19:46:52):
is it accessed via http or file protocol? Unknown author (2012-09-17 07:59:30):
<link rel="icon" href="images/favicon.ico" /> works, but if you are not on a web server you will not see the icon. Except in Firefox. Unknown author (2012-09-17 19:06:29):

am also trying to create favicon but still it does not show in my Google chrome and in my IE. what might be the problem Unknown author (2012-10-04 09:03:28):
Have created a favicon.ico, placed tags in head of html but now the icons only appear after you browse to the favicon.ico file on the server. e.g. If you browse to web site http://www.example.com/, favicon doesn't appear in browsers. If you now go to http://www.example.com/favicon.ico, the favicon appears as it is supposed to when browsing to web site initially. Unknown author (2012-10-04 14:51:49):
Hey favicon ico works online when the webserver is online in google... Unknown author (2012-10-07 10:16:56):
yup Unknown author (2012-10-09 02:15:57):
This doesn't seem to work with html pages within frames. Unknown author (2012-10-30 16:27:43):
IE9 doesn't push limits. Unknown author (2012-10-31 22:34:37):
if you do not see your icon change, it is because of cache or DNS. Add a period after domain.com (ie domain.com. ) in the address bar and it will show up. -- D0rk Unknown author (2012-11-12 10:37:33):

For IE8, I had to link to the favicon for the first page and then all pages used that favicon. It sounds like you are trying to add it to the middle of the site. Unknown author (2013-01-27 19:27:24):

I'd like to add a favicon to my site, but your tutorial is only for Widows-based OS. How do we civilized folks with Macs do it? Vlasta (2013-01-29 10:23:54):

. It should be accessible at www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico
Especially since all other websites show up with the favicon, just my own is not working regardless of what I do.
