Favicons, providing more than one size
Hi,
How do I provide both a 16x16 and a 32x32 favicon in the png format? I guess the following will not work: .... <head profile="http://www.w3.org/2005/10/profile"> .... <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/images/favicon16.png" /> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/images/favicon32.png" /> .... August |

Firefox seems to always pick the last icon irregardless of its size. August |

I got tired of seeing 404s when IE was looking for favicon.ico, so I now make sure that is what it is called, and that it is a true icon file. -- Adrienne Boswell at Home Arbpen Web Site Design Services http://www.cavalcade-of-coding.info Please respond to the group so others can share |

A single ICO file can contain several sizes of icons, and Windows picks the one that is appropriate. A program which creates an ICO file should be able to put several images into the single ICO file. I use a freeware program called PNG2ICO to do this. I'm sure that there are many alternatives. |

Use irrespective or regardless instead of irregardless, the prefix "ir-" means "not" so irregardless means "not regardless", probably the opposite of what you intended to say. |

That is a flammable assertion ... or perhaps inflammable? See http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/irregardless : non-standard, but not necessarily incorrect. The English language is replete with inconsistencies. |

In this particular case the word has become fetishized... you're considerably more likely to come across it in discussion about its misuse than you are to come across it actually being miused. |

Makes sense, thanks for pointing it out. August (a non-native English speaker from Sweden) |

I will not let one browser decide where I should put my files on the server, so I think I will make the favicon an extra feature for those who use saner browsers. August |
