Favicon in subdirectory all subdomain
My website is one big website, with many little projects in it. Each of the projects also have their own favicon.ico file (the one which is shown on the left hand side of the url bar), but even if I put a favicon.ico file inside a subdirectory, it will still not show up, and will use the favicon.ico file put at the root directory.
How do I solve this problem?

You can set it on a per-page basis, like this:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://example.com/myicon.ico" />
inside the <head>..</head> tags.
Setting it on a per directory basis does not work.

I am unable to add a favicon to my jsp page. Adding the favicon as a link to a specific path did not work for me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here you can see my WebContent folder with what I tried, as well as the path to the icon I used.
You should put the favicon inside the Web-Content folder directly (not in the image folder) if you want the best compatibility with most browsers.
The link would then be: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="home_logo_vPK_icon.ico?" type="image/x-icon" />
Also, did you refresh the cache before testing? If not, reset the cache, or you will not see your changes.
Finally, it could also be your icon. Try using a favicon generator.
I need to put favicon.ico outside the root of the web site.
Can i place it in another path or it may penalize some old browser?
If you put favicon.ico in another directory and declare it in the HTML (eg. <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/icon/favicon.ico">), the favicon will work, including on IE5, the first browser to support favicons. However, you will encounter the following (minor) drawbacks:
IE (and maybe some others) will look for /favicon.ico no matter what. Expect some 404 errors in your HTTP server logs.
Some browsers, like Chrome, will use favicon.ico even if you also declare high resolution PNG favicon pictures. Of course, if you only use favicon.ico as the favicon picture, this is not a concern.
In general, this is a good practice to put all favicon-related file in the root directory of the web site. See http://realfavicongenerator.net/faq#why_icons_in_root for more information (full disclosure: I am the author of this page).
Some browsers will always check for favicon.ico in the root folder. Won't break anything if absent, though.
I have imported website template in eclipse using file->import->General->Archive File..Template contains html files and also resource folder which contains CSS Javascript etc.I want to put html file in user folder and resource files in user_resource folder. But the problem i get is eclipse doesn't automatically update links in html file to the resource file.Do i manually update all the links in HTML file or is there any way like dreamweaver to update the links when file get moved to other location? For example i have link
<link href="user/assets/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
it should automatically update to
<link href="../user_resource/assets/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
when assets folder move to user_resource folder.
Any help would be appriciated
I have not used dreamweaver much. But I find these links may be useful to solve the problem if someone know how to use dreamweaver.

I'm using Adobe Air for IOS offline app, and I want to implement a download updates (html files + js,css) feature from within the application. The files would be displayed in a StageWebView component.
Since Apple doesn't allow saving files inside the installation directory, I must use ApplicationStorageDirectory instead to download files into.
I want those download html files to link to .js / .css files already installed within the main application directory (e.g. at myApp.app).
The reason for that is I want to minimize the number of the downloaded (shared) files as much as possible. Is this possible?
EDIT 1:
What I need is something like the following:
Inside ApplicationStoarageDirectory (/Library/Application Support/):
test.html
I need it to link to a css file located inside ApplicationDirectory (installation directory), something like:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="**../../MyApp.app/**CSS/Templates.css" type="text/css" media="screen, mobile" title="main" charset="utf-8">
Thank you.
EDIT 2:
I had to copy everything I need in another place (application storage directory) and load from there.
How do you get the graphic that is next to the address bar show up?
I have a very simple site, and I want to make a custom image, and have it show up when a user is on my site.
Thanks
Place a 16x16 favicon.ico file in your websites root directory.
You can produce one in any number of graphic editing programs (including paint).

I found this on wikipedia, which seems to well describe what you are asking:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon
What your after is a favicon.ico file, check out the wikipedia article for more details.
There are also a number of online generators out there. See Google for more =)
favicon.ico files are also used by some browsers when a user bookmarks your site.
Make a square image and edit it the way that you want. Make sure that you don't add any small details. Next, go to http://www.favicon.cc.com/ . This site will convert your image to a supported .ico format. Rename the file favicon.ico and put it in the root directory of your site. You should have a favicon in your browser now.
This icon, is a favicon, and you have to upload a file to your site if you want it. But if you want to make your favicon work in all browsers properly, you will have to add more than 10 files in the correct sizes and formats.
My friend and I have created an App just for this! you can find it in faviconit.com
We did this, so people don´t have to create all these images and the correct tags by hand, create all of them used to annoy me a lot!
The file generated comes with a small explanation on what to do with the files. We will make it better, but it's a start.
Hope it helps!
