Vape Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 make yourself an ico file (I believe they involve similar encoding to png files, but you can make them easily using irfanview) and put it in the root directory of your website. Call it favicon.ico. Then, in the head area of your code, add this code ... ... Where the bloody hell are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercifull Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 You don't need that code Cameron, any decent browser will automaticly check to see if theres a favicon.ico in the directory and display it.

Wouldn't you include it anyway for compatability sake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't you include it anyway for compatability sake? Not really because its not valid XHTML Strict code. Its a stupid IE only bugfix Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape. If we let players start doing this, it devalues RuneScape for others.

So IE reads this favicon.ico file automatically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
____ Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Only if you have that code - hence why Matt said it was an IE bug fix :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharper Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Only if you have that code - hence why Matt said it was an IE bug fix :P Then don't you think it's a pretty anti-IE comment to say you don't need to include it? The majority of people in the world don't use Firefox Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Its bad coding tho. The code used to make Favicons work in IE breaks the specification for XHTML. You shouldn't include it because its sloppy code not because its an "anti-IE" comment. I know the majority of people in the world dont use firefox, and i dont have any stats on usage here on tipit but when making a website these days you should code to standards. With IE7 coming soon things should be a lot better, but in the mean time its best to go without a feature, thats only good for visual looks, than break the web standards.

Hannibal Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Only if you have that code - hence why Matt said it was an IE bug fix :P Then don't you think it's a pretty anti-IE comment to say you don't need to include it? The majority of people in the world don't use Firefox Matt. IE 7 will probably support it (or should I say, hopefully). And being valid xhtml improves web standards. Fixing IE at every possible point (and then having to revise those fixes once IE 7 gets out the door) doesn't improve web standards at all.

DaN Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I agree with Matt stick to the coding standards Microsoft dont rule the web as much as they think, Its their fault if their browser is incompatable with certain websites that do follow the standard. ~Dan64AuSince 27 Aug 2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
____ Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 And IIRC, the first set of web standards were written for IE and NN. Now IE is the only browser which doesn't support them, so whatever. No pity for IE really - if they can't be arsed to keep up that's their problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
