I'm trying to move my website over and the favicon is not working. It works on my current website which you can see here. (At least it shows in Firefox. I have just started adding the favicon to my current site, so I haven't checked on other browsers):
http://members.cox.net/maggieameanderings/Archive.htm
I deleted the "default.php" file.
I uploaded an "index.html" file and the "favicon.ico" file to under "public_html"
You can see the index.html file here. No favicon shows:
http://maggieameanderings.web44.net/index.html
The icon file is there and shows if you pull up its URL:
http://maggieameanderings.web44.net/favicon.ico
This is the html code on my current site:
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://members.cox.net/maggieameanderings/favicon.ico">
This is what I changed it to and it did not work:
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://maggieameanderings.web44.net/favicon.ico">
So I did a search on the forums and found a thread which said I should change the HTML code to this and it did not work:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
Then I thought, "Oh wait, I needed to include the full address" so I tried
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://maggieameanderings.web44.net/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
But it didn't work either.
How do I get favicon to work?
