Hi!
I´ve switched the favicon of my JApurity based site to a new one that I´ve made myself. It looks good in firefox, but it wont appear in the browser of Internet Explorer. Is there anybody that has a clue why?

The favicon of forum.joomla.org works fine in both FF and IE7. Perhaps your favicon is not in the .ico format: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537656(VS.85).aspx.

Regards,

Hi!
It is a .ico and I've followed the instructions given here on how this should be done.

I'm bumping this as I have the same problem. Works in Firefox in the address bar, but not in the bookmarks. The new favicon is not displayed in IE7 at all - it just displays default Joomla one.

What I've tried:

Created .ico in both IrfanView and online at http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/

Searched my site directory and replaced all favicon instances with new ones.

Cleared cache/temporary internet files.

OK, it's showing up in IE now - I just had to restart the browser. It is still showing the default favicon when I drag it to my bookmarks in Firefox though.

I have changed my favicon twice, and it now displays correctly at the front end in IE and Firefox, but in the back end (administrative) I still see my previous version of favicon displayed. Don't know how this can help you, just additional info to think

I changed the ja_purity favicon to my own and to have it showing I did the following.

IE 7
- closed the IE browser and then started it up again
- navigated to mysite.com.au and the right favicon appeared

FireFox
- in the address bar I typed http://mysite.com.au/templates/ja_purity/favicon.ico
- the right favicon showed up then I navigated back to mysite.com.au and the right favicon appeared.

Yes, yesterday i spent FOUR HOURS. fixing the favicons on ALL of my sites. They all were finally working. woke up this morning.. NOT ONE OF THEM WORKED! i think my browser is drunk !! i have at least 8 hours in messing with favicons. you would think the "short cut" "href...'favicon.ico' in the header would force it up there, but nooooooooooooope

I also have an issue with IE not showing my favicon. It works fine with FF and Chrome but not in IE. The "e" still shows up in IE. I don't ever use IE so clearing cache would be a waste of time but for the sake of argument I did and still nothing. Not to mention that I also tried it on another laptop and the "e" came up as well.

The same thing happens to all sites....

Have you checked the icon at this forum, forum.joomla.org? My IE8 displays the Joomla icon correctly here but the e is shown at your sites.

I know the icon is not showing up correctly on IE, hence my question here on the forum. It shows up correctly on FF AND on Google Chrome. What code do I use in joomla for it to be able to be seen/shown on IE?

I just wanted to find out if your IE can display favicons from other sites.

Joomla 1.5 does not do anything special to render favicons in IE. Joomla 1.5 produces the link to the favicon if the file favicon.ico is found in the main (root) Joomla folder or the main folder of the template. The code can be found in the addFavIcon and _loadTemplate methods of the JDocumentHTML class in /libraries/joomla/document/html/html.php.

On the other hand, templates can do their own thing and add a favicon line to the <head> section, in which case the favicon.ico file can be anywhere. Here is one such example:
Code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/images/favicon.ico" />

And here is some useful info from a Microsoft MVP how to troublesheet the favicon problem in IE:http://jeffcode.[URL banned].com.au/2007/12/why-doesnt-favicon-for-my-site-appear.html

Totally misunderstood your first response, sorry about that ;) Yes, other sites pull up the favicon, just not mine. I'll look at the link you provided. Thank you :)

Tried what you suggested, what the site suggested and still not seeing anything in IE. In other words, I made the favicon.ico into a 16x16 instead of the 24x24 that I had been using. In FF and Chrome it just looks smaller.... Anyway, also added the line to the index.php of the template and even saw it in the source. Maybe I typed it in wrong though?

<link rel="address bar icon" href="http://www.rubyfrogentertainment.com/main/templates/siteground-j15-112/favicon.ico">
