I have a favicon on my website but it doesn't show when stored in bookmarks like other favicons do.

I only assume I am missing some code. So, What exactly is missing?

The URL is - http://www.pastillesnetworks.com

Please let me know what I can do to remedy this.

Thanks

Are you sure the picture is saved as a "favicon.ico" file in the public_html portion of your web directory?

**PN-Matt** · 10-13-2007, 07:42 PM

Yes, I can confirm it's saved as that.

Well, I do see the icon if IE, but not FF, so it must not be a coding error.

W3C specifies that favicon codes are supposed to be put in the head section.
You've got your favicon codes where the doctype line is supposed to be.

I never put favicon code into the header before, and mine works fine. Plus I can already see it IE, without any header code.

It should go in the <head> section

I only put that code in to make it show up when bookmarked. It hasn't worked.

I have put it in the head section now. Still no luck.

try
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.ico" /> instead of :

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.pastillesnetworks.com/images/favicon.ico" />

By the way, do you use joomla?

**PN-Matt** · 10-14-2007, 05:46 PM

Tried it. Still not showing in bookmarks.

Yes, Joomla is used for the site backend.

Thanks

I didn't correctly see your code sorry. Apparently you have putted the favicon link twice:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.pastillesnetworks.com/images/favicon.ico" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<link href="http://www.pastillesnetworks.com/templates/madeyourweb/css/template_css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.webmaster-talk.com/images/favicon.ico" />

Delete the 1st one, because i think that it is the one you have added by yourself. The second one is Joomla Default link. You didn't have to put a favicon code, just replace your's by the default joomla favicon and it's should be okay.
