favicon.ico question?
 

Does the favicon.ico work if you only have an IP address? The IP is the
root folder and I have a favicon.ico there but it isn't coming through.

I know this isn't really HTML related but wasn't sure where else to post
this. However, some people here have probably implemented the favorite icon
hack.

Thanks,
Brett

They said that cross posting ist OK in opposite to multiposting. So send it
to more groups.

How would you be online without an IP? Check favicon.com and see if you
have yours per their instructions.

Hope that helps!

Are you using IE? IE usually won't show a favicon until you bookmark the
page. Opera and Firefox automatically show a favicon. I'm sure other
modern browsers do as well.

You also want to make sure that it is a true icon file, and not a gif
with an ico extension.

Are you using the LINK element? I usually stick all my LINK elements in
one file, link_rel.inc and use it as an include, ie:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="Home" href="index.asp" title="Home Page" />
<link rel="Index" href="sitemap.asp" title="Sitemap" />
<link rel="Help" href="support.asp" title="Support Page" />
<link rel="P3Pv1" href="w3c/p3p.xml" title="Machine readable Privacy
Statement" />

The IP is pass protected and the browser is IE6. My question is simple -
does the favicon work with only a domain name or also the IP?

Thanks,
Brett

This is the problem.
Try it in Firefox.

Yes. In fact, I'm using the same exact link tag. It started off as a GIF
then I saved it as an ICO using Irfran Viewer. I can reference
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/favicon.ico and see the icon. I have also bookmarked
the page but still no icon. Remember, this is only an IP address an does
not have an associated domain. Will that make a difference?

Thanks,
Brett

Should not make any difference. I can do
http://192.168.1.4/betasite/index.html and see the favicon I created for
it, or I can do http://localhost/betasite/index.html and see the icon.
IE6.

Brett:

MS IE will only display the favicon if it is a single format 16x16 pixel
16 color icon in Window ICO format where as Gecko browsers will display
multi-format (like your desktop icons 16x16, 32x32, 48x48 and various
color depths 4, 8 16 bit colors) and other image formats like GIF and
PNG. If your specify your relative path to the file correctly whether or
not your have a registered domain name does not matter. Make the image a
16x16 4-bit (16 color) icon and your trouble in MS IE should be solved.
