I put the favicon in the html like this:
<link rel='shortcut icon' type='image/x-icon' href='favicon.ico' />
...but when visited with Google Chrome it shows the logo of Google Drive instead of my favicon.
This doesn't happen on Firefox, only on Chrome. So is there any way how to force MY favicon to show on google drive hosted webpages? thank you!
Adding a querystring to my filename worked for me:
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico?v=2" />
See: "How do I force a favicon refresh"
From the Google Drive Product Forums:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="x-icon">
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="x-icon">

I'm using a Styleshout template and hosting it on Google Drive. The code they have in the header of the index.html file is:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.png" >
And whatever I put as "favicon.png" in the root directory of the site shows up as the favicon.
I added this code to the header of a different site that was displaying the Google Drive icon and it started displaying whatever I put as "favicon.png" instead.
They are using a .png file instead of an .ico file, but it works. Furthermore, you can use other sizes of .png files, rather than just 16x16.
You have to construct your url with the folder id that contains your index.html (and js, favicon, css) instead of the file id of the index.html (I suppose that this is what you are doing because i had the same problem).
No use this id:
Use this instead:
Where "casacas" is the folder where you put the index.html file and the favicon.ico (plus js, css, images) and configured with public access.
Then, in your html simple use:
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico">

I tried to implement a favicon to my website but it is not working properly.
I think the problem is that in my code, I am using in the twice, one for the href=style and one for the favicon but I don't know how to fix it.
this is my code at the moment:
<head>
<title>title</title>
<link href="faviconfinal.jpg" rel="icon">
<link href="style.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
For the link type="shortcut icon" I recommend you have a png file. What I normally do for link shortcut icons is that I prepare a 256x256 or 512x512 transparent png icon and just save it in a location like images/icon.png.
You should verify if the file is correctly located in your page. The easiest way to do this is opening your browser's console and looking for 404 errors. The easiest way to see it's working is the browser's tab showing your icon.
Besides that, what you must have is a favicon.ico file at your root folder (where your index file is located). The icon has to be a .ico file. For Windows you can use IcoFX. For mixed use or Mac focused you could use either IconWorkshop or IconFactory.
You don't need to specify the favicon.ico icon, it's the default icon. You can check more on this here
Change the suffix of the .jpg file to .ico, rename it to favicon.ico and link to it as follows:
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico">
So, what I am trying to do is to put a favicon on my website's tab, but when I upload the files and everything, I can't see the favicon. Here is the line for the favicon that I know that was suppose to be working: <link rel = "Shortcut Icon" href = "./Simpsons.ico">. Can someone give me another way to put up favicon.
P.S
I already uploaded .ico file, so its not the uploading part fault, its just a script failure.
You should rename Shortcut Icon to shortcut icon and give the correct path of ico or png file.
for .ico
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://example.com/myicon.ico" />
for .png, you need to specify the type
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="http://example.com/image.png" />
I am currently working on this site
I am trying to set favicon but it is not working on google chrome.
I found some questions related to this topic but none of that solved my issue.
I have tried to use png image like,
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://scutops.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/cropped-favicon-1.png" type="image/png" >
Tried to rename the favicon ,
But none of these is working.
Please help me to find this.
Thanks.
Update :
I have also tried with:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://scutops.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/favicon-3.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
still not working
Have you tried converting the .png file to a .ico file using an online favicon generator (like this one)? If you upload an .ico file to the site's root directory, most browsers (including Chrome) should automatically pick it up. Even without a reference in the html head.
This worked for me...
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="assets/img/logo.ico">
Favicon not showing up in Google Chrome
1) Clear your cache. 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" />
in the <head> Tag.

2) How you should add it:

in the Tag.
3) Another thing could be the problem that chrome can't display favicons, if it's local (not uploaded to a webserver). Only if the file/icon would be in the downloads directory chrome is allowed to load this data - more information about this can be found here: local (file://) website favicon works in Firefox, not in Chrome or Safari- why?
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:

How to set rel="shortcut icon" on image page ?
When i access EG: example.com/food.png
I want to display rel="shortcut icon" on image page, how can i do that ?
In other php page i write <link rel="shortcut icon" href="food.png"> in <head> tag
But in image page EG: example.com/food.png how to add rel="shortcut icon" ?
you can test on this link http://ir.ebaystatic.com/pictures/aw/homepage/eBayTodayCoverPhotos/UK/Sale_27062014_2.jpg you will see favicon of ebay , how can i do that ?
All that you need to do is place image file favicon.ico in your main site directory eg public_html/favicon.ico place that way file with name and extension favicon.ico size 16x16 it will be shown in every pages of your site including in image preview also Here is example http://srpskalegija.bplaced.net/forumhtml/images/logo.gif
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="http://example.com/favicon.png">
This is achievable, just insert put the PNG image in your root directory the, linking absolutely will help. Put the above link tag in your head.
I guess the PNG image would work fine, but if it doesn't just convert your image to ico format and replace the type with ico. I suggest just converting it in .ico format as it has more support.Check this wiki link Favicon Browser Implementation and Support
I've seen that some browsers do take time to display the favicon if you've changed it or added a new one, anyways it'll work fine. After you've done that, when you open any image suppose at this URL
example.com/img/one.png it'll show the favicon on the tab, that's what you want right? :D
Here is a solution.
<link rel="icon" href="address" sizes="32x32">
<link rel="icon" href="address" sizes="192x192">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" href="address">
<meta name="msapplication-TileImage" content="address">
I'm creating an HTML web page.
I'm nowhere near finish and therefore should not focus too much on the following matter at the moment.
But I'm confused about why my code for the Shortcut icon is not working.
I'm testing everything by placing all files in the same folder (offline, no servers or anything similar)
The code is
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico">
I tried with different ico files and it will only work with an ico uploaded to a website.
For example the following code will work.
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" type="image/x-icon" href="\WEBSITEFOLDER\favicon.ico">
Try:
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" type="image/x-icon" href="~/favicon.ico">
or:
<link rel="Shortcut Icon" type="image/ico" href="favicon.ico">
I ran into this similar problem, and it turned out that the size of the actual file was what caused the issue. According to sources it has to be either 16x16 or 32x32. I would use an icon generator like: x-iconeditor.com.
If you want a favicon on local file, you will have to use Data URI
See this answer : local (file://) website favicon works in Firefox, not in Chrome or Safari- why?
set favicon icon size 16x16 it will work in chrome...
I HAD the same problem. The site I "borrowed" from used a folder called "icons" for the location of the .ico file so I followed that exactly. The service my girlfriend used was Web.com. For whatever reason with Web.com if a shortcut icon in located anywhere other than the root directory, it will not show up in Internet Explorer. I simply moved the favicon file into the same place index.html was and changed that one line of code in the index to reflect that.
Solved (in my case anyway)! Good luck!
<link rel="icon" href="relative_PATH/favicon.ico">
Try to put the all relative path to the icons file
It doesn't work, absolutely because the link target is not correct.
If you put the icon in the same folder of your web page, then correct the link to the following:
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" type="image/x-icon" href="./favicon.ico">
which means favicon.ico is in the current folder.
However you can use the debugger i.e. chrome debugger and navigate to
the source code of your web page, i.e. right click on the link of your icon ->
open in new tab, and see how it works
Try to add the absolute route for the image icon and Use 48x48 px image size.
That worked for me
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="http://yoursite.com/Content/Images/favicon.png" />
