does your server support favicon.ico files?


Answer by: Curtis Vize, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support

Since Favicon.ico files are not server-dependent, they can work on your Aplus.Net webpage as long as the web browser supports Shortcut icons. To set up a shortcut icon on your site, you may follow these instructions:

Ensure your Icon is the correct size and format:

Internet Explorer and Netscape will not accept a shortcut icon unless it is 16 x 16 pixels, and in the proper .ICO format. Several programs are available for download on the internet to create proper .ICO files for use as a shortcut icon. Try searching for an “icon editor” from C|Net’s download.com for some free programs.

Upload the Icon to the proper place on your webpage:

Uploading the icon file as “favicon.ico” to: http://www.my-domain-name.com/favicon.ico will automatically associate your webpage and any saved favorites/bookmarks with your customized/designed icon.

If you would like to store your icon under a different location or name, you must specify the location in the <head> tag of your HTML like so:

<head>

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.my-domain-name.com/my-customized-icon-name.ico">

<title>Webpage title here.</title>

</head>

Of course in this example you would replace “my-domain-name.com” with your own domain name and “my-customized-icon-name.ico” with your actual icon filename/location.
