mrgica · 06-03-2004, 02:14 PM

I posted this once before but never got any 100% answer.

I se many 404 favicon.ico errors in my server logs, what is it mean?

Browsers look for an icon file - look at your browser's location window right now - see the yellow and blue check mark graphic next to the URL? that's one of them..

assuming you are using IE or Netscape...

type this (favicon.ico) into google and it will explain it all.

favicon is a small icon you see if you add a site to your bookmarks or use Mozilla Firefox.

Nothing to worry about unless you want to put a little symbol of your site for bookmarkers

favicon.ico doesnt always appear in IE though when you save a page as a fav

Holly · 06-03-2004, 02:22 PM

Yeah, it's good. I never put one just because I like to see how many times someone is bookmarking me.

I think it may have something to do with where they're saved. I know mine get deleted when I clear my temp files and cookies. Maybe if you set up another path and put them in a permanent folder, they'll stay. I don't know if IE or your browser gives you the option. If not, you could probably tweak the registry and do it.

mrgica · 06-03-2004, 02:36 PM

allright I forgot to ask whats the size of the icons? (width height)

Holly · 06-03-2004, 02:48 PM

16X16. I think 32X32 will scale down, as well.

It's got to be saved as .ico

Also, you have to add the html to your page headers, too.
