How do I insert a favicon in html?


What is the code and where does it go?? In the Header section I suppose before the body?

I take it you store the image in normal 'images' folder as .jpg? And just refer to it as normal.

Anyone help?? It'd be a great touch to my sites!

Cheers Nice People x

Sorry for trying to answer my own question but do you just upload an image with the extension .ico??
Do you need to scale it perfectly or is that automatic?

Cheers

What you have to do is make the file an icon file. You can go here to convert an image to an icon file: http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon
You then need to save the file as favicon.ico and put it in your root directory. By doing so, the server will automatically recognize there is a favorite icon and display it.

Need to be .ico, not .jpg. You can use http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/ to generate it and give you the appropriate code. In summary, the line <link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.ico"> or similar needs to be somewhere between the <head></head> tags.

I would love to help......but haven't a clue what your on about, all way over my head!!! Hope you get lots of good answers though and solve the mystery!
