How to get an icon from address bar of Opera, I.E. and other browsers?
The question us not specific
if you want to download that icon
then you can try
domainname.com/favicon.ico, if that
doesnot work then view the source
code of the page on the
<html><head> section search for
link rel="shortcut icon".
following is the favicon for
stackoverflow
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://sstatic.net/stackoverflow/img/favicon.ico">
If you want to put such icon for
your website then put a ico file in
root folder of you document root or
link each page above code in
section with href to
your icon file, preferably (16X16)
or (32X32)
The icon is called favicon.ico.
Put a .ico file in the root web directory.

I'm trying to use GitHub as required of my class to launch a website. Unfortunately, I have to be doing something wrong. My filepaths in the index.html file are as follows:
link href="/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet"
for the style sheet
Now for the image I'm wanting to use I'm using:
img src="/images/TomEdwards.jpg" alt="Tom Edwards"
and I'm getting this instead at this location:
https://ladywebdevelop.github.io/bioSite/index.html
my file tree looks like this:
css (Folder)
images (Folder)
README.md
index.html
What are my possible solutions, please?
I've tried several different ways in the file path names to access both the stylesheet and the images.
I'm expecting the stylesheet to render correctly with a colored background and the image to appear on the right-hand side under the horizontal navigation list.
I was able to load the stylesheet by changing this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/style.css">
To this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">
The stylesheet must be referenced correctly relative to the index file.
As for the image, I don't see it in the application's sources. Are you sure that it's committed to the repository, and located in the right place? The current codes has it here, which looks like a typo:
<img src="TomEdwards/TomEdwards.jpg" alt="Tom Edwards">
I am using Dreamweaver and I tried to create a favicon to show logo on the address bar and i put this tag in the head tag of html page
<link rel="icon" href="images/favicon.png" type="image/png">
also I tried the ".ico" extension but still nothing is shown on the address bar browsers (chrome - firecox and internet explorer)
so any suggestion as I followed the steps as this link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon
Alright, so I set up a website using Github a while ago. I use it as a showcase for programming projects I'm working on, but that's beside the point. For a while now I've been trying to add an icon to my website, and for the life of me I can't figure out how. Help please.
If by icon you mean the image you see on the browser tab 32x32 pixels, that is usually in a format called Favicon.
You just need the image of your icon in favicon format (google how to convert an image to favicon and you will find websites that do this for you easily.), add it to your project and then add a tag on your hmtl head:
<head>
/* some style tags */
/* THE FOLLOWING IS YOUR 'ICON' */
<link rel="icon"
type="image/png"
href="./style/images/logo.favicon">
</head>
But this question should definitely not be under git tags. You did not mention why one should keep in mind that you are using github.
I have uploaded favicon.png to my Wordress 3.9.1 website: www.belldex.com and it works well. I have already placed the favicon in other folders such as the theme's folder.
However, it only works on the homepage and not on any other page.
Appreciate being pointed to the right direction.
If you are using something like this inside your head tag
AND If Homepage is on a different Domain/Subdomain than other pages: you will need to repeat
PS: .PNG is not as ideal as .ico, so I'd convert your image first, an in the case above, save in on the same level as your html pages.
Your head tag contains two links to favicons, and the second one doesn't work:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.belldex.com/favicon.png" type="image/x-icon"/>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.belldex.com/wp-content/themes/smartit/favicon.png" type="image/x-icon" />
You should delete the second one.
I am already using the standard way of adding a favicon:
<link rel="icon" type="image/gif" href="/graphics_card/favicon.gif">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/graphics_card/favicon.ico">
so the favicon.gif and .ico are both supposed to reside on
/graphics_card
However, I found that IE 8 (or maybe other IE) cannot show it, (update: no matter how many times I pressed CTRL-F5, or clear the browser cache), but as soon as the .ico file is present in that directory where the index.html is, then it will show.
So if it is
http://www.example.com/graphics_card/nvidia/index.html
there needs to be a favicon.ico in
/graphics_card/nvidia/
too. I ended up specifying it as
<link rel="icon" type="image/gif" href="/graphics_card/favicon.gif">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">
and just put a favicon.ico in that directory. Is this the standard way?
No, you can put it anywhere if you specify it in the tag. However, for IE, you need to give a fully qualified URL (i.e. not a relative url).
You can put it anywhere else and use the <link> tag to refer to it. e.g.
<link rel='shortcut icon' href='/images/favicon.ico' type='image/x-icon' />
However it is good practice to put it on the domain root e.g. http://example.com/favicon.ico, because modern browsers will actually do a call to that file when loading pages to load the icon first.
