Help with Favicons

[Vanessa Tighe]

Hi, I created a favicon for my main website http://www.foto-x.co.uk today, following the dynamic drive favicon generator, and it worked fine and appeared immediately. I then decided to create one for another site we host, but it has its own url http://www.ukxc.co.uk, following the same process and it just won't appear. I don't know why, can anyone help?

Many thanks

Vanessa

13.48 pm - had another idea - when http://www.ukxc.co.uk loads it appears to be looking for to http://www.foto-x.co.uk for info, so I renamed the favicon ukxc.ico, uploaded it to the root directory of foto-x and then amended the code in the index page of http://www.ukxc.co.uk/index.html to look for the favicon, but hey guess what, it still hasn't worked, so I'm still really stuck.

I'm not really sure why it doesn't show, but you could add this code to the head section of your page:

<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

favicons do not always appear right away. Most of the time they will, but sometimes it may take up to a week (not likely) for them to appear with the associated domain.

Thanks for the help, I've already added some code to the head section but I'll try the code you suggested and let you know how I get on.
