Whenever I make an index.html file and write Anything inside it then open it in browser, I see a Favicon that I have never seen before. I want to know why is that Favicon showing and is there any way to stop it?, I didn't even add a html tag for a Favicon but It's still showing.
CODE:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>This is a title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>TEST</h1>
</body>
</html>
Favicon
Image of Favicon
First of all try to be sure that your project do not have favicon. Try to open www.[mysite].com/favicon.ico. If there is none pass to step two.
Wrong favicon could be taken automatically from your browsers cache. Try to hard reload your page (for mac it is shift+cmnd+r)
If favicon still shows and you do not want to show any favicon just pass empty href for it inside your header tag
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="data:image/x-icon;," type="image/x-icon">
The major browsers look into the root folders after a "favicon.ico", you can find more info on it here (another Stackoverflow thread)
Sometimes, a webpage automatically makes an automatic favicon request on page load.
To prevent this add following to head of your HTML tag.
<link rel="icon" href="data:,">
When I open my index.html file in Safari, it shows everything, styled with my CSS file. When I open my index.html with Google Chrome, it appears to only show the HTML. I do not use webkits, and I only pair my HTML to my CSS using this in my head tag in my index.html file:
CSS:
<link rel=stylesheet type="html/css" href="stylesheet.css">
Does anyone know how I can open this in Google Chrome so it uses my CSS file like Safari does?
Thanks in advance!
First clear cache of browser and disable some html/css validation extension.It will be sure that it will work. and just follow the css attachment syntax below.<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css">
Try using
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css">
The rel tag should have some quotation marks and the type should be text/css for compatibility.
I had the same problem with updating CSS, try ctrl + f5.
It also forces to reload the cache.
And if this is the problem, you can try to clear the cache in the browser.
I am making a HTML page and one of the things I wanted was a favicon appearing next to the title.
I'm using Google Chrome, I see favicons working on other websites, but the favicon on my website won't show up. The site is in a folder on my desktop named site.
The favicon.ico file is 16x16, and I used an online generator to make it.
This is the code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Since you have a leading / in your href, you are referencing a file that will be in the root-folder. In case you have your page in a folder on your computer, not serving it from a local webserver, the leading / will tell the browser to look in the root folder of your filesystem. So the browser expect the file to be at C:/favicon.ico or similar, which is probably not what you've expected.
If you have the favicon.ico in the same folder as the web page, you could just remove the leading slash, and the icon should be visible.
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />
Update:
As a debug option, your could try to add a tag that you know works. I borrowed this snippet from the StackOverflow source. Try replacing your link tag with this and see if you get the SO logo as your favicon.
<link rel="shortcut icon"
href="http://cdn.sstatic.net/stackoverflow/img/favicon.ico">
Update 2:
It appears that there is a bug reported on Chromium where the favicon isn't displayed if the file is loaded locally, without being served through a webserver.
I've found that (at Chrome 56, OSX) the favicon state appears to be cached for the browser lifetime, so if a favicon isn't being loaded, it won't be until after restarting Chrome. It appears that it doesn't show up in the "application" tab in dev tools and isn't cleared by a hard reload or 'Clear site data'.
A common issue where the favicon will not show up when expected is cache, if your .htaccess for example reads:
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 month"
Then simply add a random value to your favicon reference:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="https://example.com/favicon.ico?r=31241" type="image/x-icon" />
Works every time for me even with heavy caching.
Another reason for Chrome not displaying the favicon is that it still remembers a time when the site in question did not have a favicon or the favicon was incorrectly configured.
You're going to want to completely wipe the favicon cache:
Exit all running Chrome processes.
Delete the Favicons file in your user data folder. For example:
C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Favicons
This can not be resolved by clearing the browser cache, as it does not affect the Favicons container.
Also note that, contrary to what you might read online, requests to favicon resources are not shown in the Network panel of the DevTools. Under very rare circumstances, one such request may show up there, but it is highly unlikely and the DevTools will not help you solve your favicon woes.
1) Clear your chache. http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95582 And test another browser, lets say safari. How did you import the favicon?
2) How you should add it:
Normal favicon:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
PNG/GIF favicon:
<link rel="icon" type="image/gif" href="favicon.gif" />
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon.png" />
3) Another thing could be the problem that chrome can't display favicons, if it's local (not uploaded to a webserver).
4) Try to rename it from favicon.{whatever} to {yourfaviconname}.{whatever} but I would suggest you to still have the normal favicon. This has solved my issue on IE.
5) Found another solution for this which works great! I simply added my favicon as Base64 Encoded Image directly inside the tag like this:
<link href="data:image/x-icon;base64,AAABAAIAEBAAAAEAIABoBAAAJgAAACAgAAABACAAqBAAAI4EAAAoAAAAEAAAACAAAAABACAAAAAAAAAEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AIaDgv+Gg4L/hoOC/4aDgv+Gg4L/hoOC/4aDgv+Gg4L/hoOC/4aDgv////8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wCGg4L/////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wCGg4L/////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8AhoOC/////wCGg4L/hoOC/4aDgv+Gg4L/hoOC/4aDgv////8AhoOC/////wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AIaDgv////8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AIaDgv////8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wCGg4L/////AHCMqP9wjKj/cIyo/3CMqP9wjKj/cIyo/////wCGg4L/////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8AhoOC/////wBTlsIAU5bCAFOWwgBTlsIAU5bCM1OWwnP///8AhoOC/////wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8AU5bCBlOWwndTlsLHU5bC+FOWwv1TlsLR////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AFOWwvtTlsLuU5bCu1OWwlc2k9cANpPXqjaT19H///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wBTlsIGNpPXADaT1wA2k9dINpPX8TaT1+40ktpDH4r2tB+K9hL///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////ADaT1wY2k9e7NpPX/TaT16AfivYGH4r23R+K9u4tg/WQLoL1mP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wA2k9fuNpPX5zaT1zMfivYGH4r23R+K9uwjiPYXLoL1+S6C9W7///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8ANpPXLjaT1wAfivYGH4r22x+K9usfivYSLoL1oC6C9esugvUA////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8AH4r2zx+K9usfivYSLoL1DC6C9fwugvVXLoL1AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AB+K9kgfivYMH4r2AC6C9bEugvXhLoL1AC6C9QD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wAugvXyLoL1SC6C9QAugvUA////AP//AADgBwAA7/cAAOgXAADv9wAA6BcAAO+XAAD4HwAA+E8AAPsDAAD8AQAA/AEAAP0DAAD/AwAA/ycAAP/nAAAoAAAAIAAAAEAAAAABACAAAAAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8AhISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/////wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wCEhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AISEhP+EhIT/////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8AhISE/4SEhP////8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8AhISE/4SEhP////8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wCEhIT/hISE/////wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wCEhIT/hISE/////wD///8AhISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP8AAAAA////AISEhP+EhIT/////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AISEhP+EhIT/////AP///wCEhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/4SEhP+EhIT/hISE/wAAAAD///8AhISE/4SEhP////8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8AhISE/4SEhP/4+vsA4ujuAOLo7gDi6O4A4ujuAN3k6wDZ4OgA2eDoANng6ADZ4OgA2eDoANng6ADW3uYAJS84APj6+wCEhIT/hISE/////wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wCEhIT/hISE/9Xd5QBwjKgAcIyoRnCMqGRwjKhxcIyogHCMqI9wjKidcIyoq3CMqLlwjKjHcIyo1HCMqLhogpwA/f7+AISEhP+EhIT/////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AISEhP+EhIT/xtHcAHCMqABwjKjAcIyo/3CMqP9wjKj/cIyo/3CMqP9wjKj/cIyo/3CMqP9wjKj/cIyo4EdZawD///8AhISE/4SEhP////8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8AhISE/4SEhP+2xNMAcIyoAHCMqJhwjKjPcIyowHCMqLFwjKijcoymlXSMpIh0jKR6co2mbG+OqGFqj61zXZO4AeXv9gCEhIT/hISE/////wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wCEhIT/hISE/6i5ygDF0dwAIiozACQyPQAoP1AALlBmADhlggBblLkGVJbBPFOWwnxTlsK5U5bC9FOWwv9TlsIp3erzAISEhP+EhIT/////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AAAAAAAAAAAALztHAAAAAAAuU2sAU5bCClOWwkNTlsKAU5bCwFOWwvhTlsL/U5bC/1OWwv9TlsL/U5bC/ViVvVcXOFAAAAAAAAAAAAD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8AAAAAAAAAAAALDhEALVFoAFOWwjpTlsL6U5bC/1OWwv9TlsL/U5bC/1OWwvxTlsLIV5W+i2CRs0xHi71TKYzUnyuM0gIJHi4AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wAAAAAAAAAAACtNZABTlsIAU5bCD1OWwv1TlsL6U5bCxFOWwoRVlsBHZJKwDCNObAA8icJAKYzUwimM1P8pjNT/KYzUWCaCxgALLUsAAAAAAAAAAAD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AAAAAAApS2EAU5bCAFOWwgBTlsIAU5bCNVOWwgg+cJEAIT1QABU/XQA1isg4KYzUuymM1P8pjNT/KYzU/ymM1LAti9E0JYvmDhdouAAAAAAAAAAAAP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8AFyk1AE+PuQBTlsIAU5bCAER7nwAmRVoADBojABRFaQAwi80xKYzUsymM1P8pjNT/KYzU/ymM1LgsjNE2MovXFB+K9MUfivbBH4r2BgcdNAARQH8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wD///8A////AP///wAAAAAAAQIDABIgKgAPGiIABRMcABdQeQAti9AqKYzUrCmM1P8pjNT/KYzU/ymM1MAqjNM9HmqmACWK7SIfivbZH

Used this page here for this: http://www.motobit.com/util/base64-decoder-encoder.asp
For me the problem was that there was a div above it (which of course shouldn't have been in the head, but it happens). Firefox didn't mind, but Chrome did.
It doesn't look like Chrome allows you to display the favicon in the address bar...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon#Use_of_favicon
I've also seen it done like this. Don't know if it would make a difference or not.
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
This is a bug in Chrome and Chrome only. To trigger the bug:
Set in your HTML <head> block: <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/ico" href="favicon.ico">
Load the page with one favicon.ico image, then replace the favicon.ico file with a different one. You will not be able to get the new one to display, even if you use Classic Cache Killer or use incognito mode (security breach, anyone?). You can use another browser to confirm.
To solve the bug: Do a forced reload, by pressing shift + F5.
This is such a massive bug in Chrome, that it's already been reported to their developers, who have suggested using this method as solving the their bugs. (Source: GoogleSupport.)
This trick works: add this script in header or masterPage for Example
var link = document.createElement('link');
link.type = 'image/x-icon';
link.rel = 'shortcut icon';
link.href = '/favicon.png';
and will be cached. It's not optimal, but it works.
The path must be via the URI (full).
Like: http://example.com/favicon.png
so in your case:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head profile="http://www.w3.org/2005/10/profile">
<title></title>
<link rel="shortcut icon"
type="image/png"
href=" http://example.com/favicon.png" />
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Ref:
http://www.w3.org/2005/10/howto-favicon
Note if you have so many tabs open that Google Chrome is only showing the favicons then Google Chrome won't show the favicon for the selected tab, so if you keep reloading the tab with your page loaded in order to see your new favicon you will only see the text of your page's title.
You will need to reload your page, and then select a different tab in order to see your favicon.
I moved ico file to root folder and link it. It worked for me.
Also, in chrome, I have to wait 30 mins to get cache cleared and new changes to take affect.
These are the locations where browsers store the Temporary data in Linux:
Note: you can see hidden files in File Manager using Ctrl + H
for Terminal use the command ls -la
Chromium
~/.cache/chromium/[profile]/Cache/
Google Chrome
~/.cache/google-chrome/[profile]/Cache/
Also, Chromium and Google Chrome store some additional cache at
~/.config/chromium/[profile]/Application Cache/Cache/
and
~/.config/google-chrome/[profile]/Application Cache/Cache/
and generally here:
/tmp/
so to apply new FAVICON or try to show it up is to clean them
make sure u are inside each of these directories use the command:
rm -rf *
There's one more possibility that no-one else seems to have mentioned: You may have exported your .ico file with settings that Chrome does not support.
Another possibility is your .ico lacks a 16px image, and so may display nothing, even though you have other resolutions.
I would suggest trying different settings on your .ico exporter, or trying another one altogether.
One potential problem is that the server is not replying with a correct file type when the browser fetches the favicon,
using Base64 is a good workaround
This issue was driving me nuts! The solution is quite easy actually, just add the following to the header tag:
<link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
For example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
Your html is completely wrong for starters, there should not be a div within your head section, nor after your body section. I suggest you look into correct html first before starting to work with favicons etc.
Update
I have just tried "Pinning" my site to the Taskbar again (after removing it) but when I clicked and held down the mouse button on the 16x16px icon inside the address bar (see pic below), you can see my favicon being dragged around with the mouse - so internet explorer has found and got the icon - it's just not displaying it in all the right places! Also updated code below:
As the title suggests, I can't get my favicon to display; in any version of any browser. There is 1 exception, though - which isn't good enough:
IE 9 and IE 10 -
As you can probably see in the screenshot above, the only time I get to see my favicon is after I've added it to my Favorites folder and opened the Favorites Bar. The favicon does not display in the Tab (next to the page title), it does not display in the Taskbar area, and it does not display up the top-left of the browser window if I have "Pinned" my site to the Taskbar.
In every other browser, it simply does not display at all.
I have tried every possible "solution" that I could find online.
Here's the code I have:
<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="http://www.mysite.com/favicon.ico"><!-- Major Browsers -->
<!--[if IE]><link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.mysite.com/favicon.ico"/><![endif]--><!-- Internet Explorer-->
I have also tried all common sizes for the favicon; 16x16, 32x32, 64x64, 128x128 and 256x256 - and I've even tried saving all sizes within the same *.ico file.
I have tried deleting the cache file for *.ico files.
Nothing has worked. The exact same code has previously worked on other sites that I've made. I don't get it. What gives?
I've edited this answer, leaving only solution to problem presented in question.
Use: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="{ICONURL}"/>
Instead of: <link rel="icon" href="{ICONURL}"/>
I had the same problem with my site just now. Drove myself crazy trying to get an favicon.ico file to work. What finally got it working correctly for me in IE 11 (on Windows 7), was to dump the favicon.ico file completely and go with a PNG instead:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon-32x32.png" type="image/png"/>
I used a PNG file with a transparency layer. Once I did this and uploaded my page, IE began displaying the icon correctly in the Tabs (and the shortcuts/bookmarks) on the very next page refresh. I double checked and it looks like Chrome and Firefox are cool with this as well.
I use
<link rel="icon"
type="image/ico"
href="Link Goes Here">
If putting the favicon in a folder:
<link rel="icon"
type="image/ico"
herf="Folder/Subfolder"
Make sure the code is in the head tag.
Make sure the image is in the .ico format; It won't work otherwise.
I have put in code using html5. In Firefox, the Favicon is showing as blank. In Internet Explorer, the favicon is showing as intended.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="icon" href="http://www.bunchofus.com/Bicon.ico" />
Tried the below as well.
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.bunchofus.com/Bicon.ico" />
I tried clearing the cache and restarting the browser and neither worked. I would appreciate the help as to why this is happening.
Thanks.
I recommend that you rename the icon favicon.ico, which normally means you don't need to hint the favicon path to browsers.
Additionally, check that the format of your image is correct and try regenerating the .ico from your original source as browsing directly to it in some browsers doesn't show the red "B", which suggests an issue with the image.
