I am trying to find the best strategy for getting a favicon to appear on various web sites that I maintain.
The problem is that every browser seems to have its own way of handling them. Some time ago all you had to do was put a file called favicon.ico into the root directory of the web page and it was picked up and displayed in the url bar of most browsers. This does not work for all browsers now, and furthermore different browsers display the favicon in different places. Firefox for example shows them in the shortcuts page. For NetSurf I use <link rel="icon" href="../img/favicon.png" /> in the <head> section. But to get this on every page means having to put the code into hundreds of html files. As an aside, Google uses a meta tag for its G favicon but I can't find any authoritive documentation for this. It is all very confusing. Is there anyone here who could clarify this area of web development for me? John -- John Rickman - http://rickman.orpheusweb.co.uk/lynx it transcends plausibility, it's a fact. david mercer
