Hi Selvan - From
http://www.webwonks.org/WebBuilding/Favicons.html
"The favicon HTML goes in the <head> tag just before you close the tag. It
is recommended that you put the HTML under the more important meta data. For
those of us without our own servers this must go one each page you want to
have your favicon appear on. You can have any number of favicons on your web
site, I have several myself. Here is the HTML that will tell the various
browsers where and what your favicon is:
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
Like I said, the favicon itself goes into the root directory of your web
site by default. You don't have to have it there but unless you tell your
browser specifically where to look for it as the example shows, it will not
find your favicon unless it is in the root.
With HTTPS (secure HTTP) hard code the entire URL into the href of the link
rel tag. EX: href="
http://webwonks.org/WebBuilding/favicon.ico" You will
need to do the same if you have the favicon stored in a folder buried in
your site and you want all the far flung pages of your site to reference it.
You can even reference somebody else's favicon but don't do it without the
expressed permission of the owner or you will visit the "room" when you die
and go to hell. You do not want to visit the "room". Trust me on this.
Mozilla is capable of viewing png file types for favicons. The HTML to
clarify this file type is in the TYPE value of the link rel tag.
Ex: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.png" type="image/png">"
I believe that nowdays most browsers will handle .png FavIcons, not just
Mozilla, but I'm not positive of that.
