Css

I know there is a way to put a favorite icon and an address bar icon with the Link rel tag in the head of an html file. All the pages on my site use one CSS file and what I want to do is put a command for the favorite icon in the CSS file so that I don't have to put the code in every page.

Can this be done?

Thanks,
Chris

 

Actually, you don't need the html on every page. All browsers should by default check for favicon.ico in the root of your website.
I've completely abandoned using the code, as its one more piece of cruft thats not neccessary.

 

Josh is right. Almost every browser will pick it up. Just make sure the file is named favicon.ico. BD has one as you probably have seen.

 

Will it work on Firefox? On all servers? What if I have a seperate index.html file in a folder on my website, can I put it there and it work?

 

Yes it will work within Firefox, Browsers that do look for a favicon usually look within the Parent Directory.

No I don't believe it would, You would have to tell the HTML document within the folder where the favicon is located. But then again I might be wrong, just test and see if it works yourself.

 

I did a test, and all sub-folders of the root will pull the favicon from the root.

Just incase, here's the code if you want it:

HTML:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="urlto\favicon.ico" />
