Make the icon you want. I think it needs to be 16x16 or 32x32, can't quite remember. Then, put it in the root directory of your site with the filename favicon.ico. That's it.

Great thanks I got it to work in MOzilla but I cannot get it to work in IE7?? I have made it 16 X 16 and put the link it suggests on the site Doug gave me. But IE still will not pick it up. This is what the site said to do:


You can use the following LINK tag in the HEAD section of the page to specify a relative or absolute path to the Favicon:

<HEAD>
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.mydomain.com/myicon.ico">
<TITLE>My Title</TITLE>
</HEAD>

not sure what else I should do to get this to show up in IE7?

Thanks All

From my experience, IE is rather buggy with favicons. FireFox always works, but IE is hit or miss.

Here's a free favicon generator. I'm sure there are many, but just in case you were looking for one.
Oops, forgot the link.

Try changing the name of the icon to favicon.ico and make sure it is your site's root directory.

IE7 is way better at handling favicons than previous incarnations. If you've got the latest, then you shouldn't have any probs, Jeff.

This will help you as well -- it makes your icon for you, and gives you instructions on how to upload also. :-)

Running the forum from an intranet. Favicon won't appear with the forum running. Where can I drop the favicon <head> code into so it works with the forums are in the top level of the window? Where in default.asp does the favicon info need to go?

It should go into inc_header.asp just above the title tag.

I'm not sure how the favicon goes in there. I tried this below and I got an error. Am I doing this correctly



If strDBType = "" then 
	Response.Write	"<html>" & vbNewLine & _

You forgot the response.write in green. Remove the one in blue after you carriage return it down to the next line - above where you have

vbNewLine & _ Response.Write"</head>" & vbNewLine & _

will also cause an error.

Always post the error (so we know what it was).

Thanks, I've made the changes, now I'm just waiting for IE7 to refresh the icon to see if it works.
