<head>
<meta(charset='utf-8')>
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="http://viewwit.com/image/favicon.ico" />
</head>
the head of my site starts with this but the favicon still won't show up inside of the title bar on any of my pages.
if you want to check for yourself the site is http://viewwit.com/ (I know it's bad, I'm making it just for fun).
I can't figure out why it isn't working. Any help would be awesome.
Try these
<meta charset="utf-8">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://viewwit.com/image/favicon.ico" />
Take a look at the meta charset
As an easy fix, you can place your favicon within the root directory (same place as index.html). This is the default location which a browser will look for when searching for a favicon.

<title><!--i want to add a picture into the title--></title>

plz help me guys I'm creating a website only using html. I want to know how to add a picture into the title which is shown in the browser
Title is used to display the page title as text.
You should use the balise below to display an icon named logo.png for example:
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="logo.png" />
You actually need to add a favicon to a website.
<link rel="icon">
Simply add the following code to the <head> element:
<link rel="icon" href="http://example.com/favicon.png">
What you're looking to add is actually a called a favicon. It is a tiny image you'd like to add next to the title of your website.
See this article for more info on favicons: https://www.abeautifulsite.net/what-are-favicons.
Some things to consider (taken from the article)
The most common sizes for favicons are:
32x32
48x48
64x64
-128x128
You can use a favicon generator to turn your image into the proper format and download it.
Insert the following code into your head after downloading your favicons and placing them in the directory of your html website.
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
Make sure you use an icon file with sizes as mentioned by #Joshua. Insert the following code.
<link rel="icon" href="....logo.ico?v=2" />
You will need to add ?v=2 query string to force a refresh. Otherwise you might have cache issues.
I want to make a favicon for my web page. I found a sample but it's not working for me. Can someone please help me get it to work. On the index page of the web site I put this in the of the page.
<!--
<![if !IE>
<link rel="icon" href="http://mywebsiteurl/images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<![endif]>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://mywebsiteurl/images/favicon.ico" type="image/ico" />
!-->
Can I put this on specific pages that I want to display the favicon or does it have to be somewhere at the root of the site?
If you can think of any solution I would really appreciate it. Thanks for any help!
Try this, your comment end was in the wrong place
<!--
<![if !IE>
<link rel="icon" href="http://mywebsiteurl/images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<![endif]>
!-->
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://mywebsiteurl/images/favicon.ico" type="image/ico" />
Assuming you are using IE conditional comments for a reason, it looks like your comment syntax is off. You can read more about them here.
Otherwise, the conditional comments aren't specifically needed for a favicon; your first tag looks good to me.
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
Yes, you can use unique favicons for individual pages, but browsers go cache crazy and will usually show the most recent icon for that domain unless otherwise instructed. For example: if you set an icon on your home page, but then didn't set one on a subpage, it would likely keep the home page's icon.
In my website, I want a small icon next to the title of my webpage. I do mean the one displayed on the tab in Chrome/IE/Firefox.
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="images/logo1.png" type="image/x-icon">
Note: Generally try to use ico file(recommended). You can use a tool to convert your LOGO to an ico file. There are many available on google.
You can do as,
<head>
<title>This is the title of my website.</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
</head>
Read this link
If your website doesn't have this icon you will get an error on every visited web page.
This favicon.ico must be 16 by 16 pixels. If it's larger or smaller, it will be ignored
and it won't be shown. You can create this icon by using a icon editor with an online generator or just by using Photoshop.

Is it possible to have this code:
<link rel="icon" href="icon.gif" />
Using css document?
(I would rather not have to go through and add that to every pages)
and is it possible to set title of page using css(I am not gonna use it as all pages have different title but just for general info)
You cannot set the favicon using CSS.... You need to use a link tag with rel value of shortcut icon.
Inorder to set that, you need to put the below string in between the <head> tags..
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />
-----^-----
<!--Remember to have .ico as the extension else
some browsers fail to load other extensions -->
You need to also specify the type attribute here type="image/x-icon" if IE fails to load your favicon, if it loads fine, you can just ignore the type attribute.
You can't do it using CSS it can only be done by inserting
<link rel="icon" href="icon.gif" />
as you have described above..
CSS is used to format some text/images etc in the page and and there is nothing to format in icon let me guess if you are working on many pages you probably have either a blog or an script to generate pages just add this line of text in it..
And you can always change icon of each page at once by just changing the icon itself...:)
You can't set a favicon from CSS - if you want to do this explicitly you have to do it in the markup as you described.
Most browsers will, however, look for a favicon.ico file on the root of the web site - so if you access http://example.com most browsers will look for http://example.com/favicon.ico automatically.
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico">
In href, you have to pass the image url.
Here is the combination of combination of .ico and .gif image
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">
<link rel="icon" type="image/gif" href="animated_favicon1.gif">
I have the html:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/images/favicon_muse_me.ico">
on my website Muse Me (http://www.musememobile.com)
The favicon won't show up if I open it with Chrome. It shows up in other Browsers.
The favicon showed up before in Chrome but then I changed it.
What should I do to make it show up in Chrome?
Add the ICO file to the root directory as 'favicon.ico'.
Some browsers disregard the favicon metatag, and just look for /favicon.ico.
Chrome does not support animated favicons, and it doesn't look like anyone is interested in implementing it.

What about if you declare a "type" for your link? Also, you can try a rel of simply "icon" in addition.
Try this:
<link rel="icon" href="/images/favicon_muse_me.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/images/favicon_muse_me.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
You could also try appending the domain to the image src as well:
<link rel="icon" href="http://www.musememobile.com/images/favicon_muse_me.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.musememobile.com/images/favicon_muse_me.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
UPDATE
You could also try using a png for your favicon (obviously will need to have a png version to do this). This is the approach I take with my own site and it looks fine in Chrome:
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/images/favicon_muse_me.png" />
Make sure it's in <head> tag. It's kind of...'meta' info for the page.
<head>
<link href="//domain.com/favicon.png" rel="icon" type="image/x-icon">
</head>
I tried other options but this worked in Chrome for me
What I have been using is the URI, witch you can find out at https://websemantics.uk/tools/image-to-data-uri-converter and just put it in the atrabute href.
For example this is a valid URI a favicon
