Hello all forum members,

I am having a webpage. When i run that page the Favorite Icon is appearing in the Mozilla Browser. But it is no appearing in Internet Explorer. I dont know what is the problem.  

I have written the code for Favorite icon as

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/iswfavicon.ico"> 

If any one has got the solution please suggest. Please provide the solution.

Thank you. 

i'm not sure but some times it may take 72 hourse of IE to show the Favorite Icon

Hi Sudheendra

Try to add the "/" because our aspx pages are based on the XHTML standard

Hope this helps

 
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
 

Hi Sudheendra

there is another way:

1.in your default.aspx add the following code:

<asp:placeholder id="FAVICON" runat="server"></asp:placeholder>

 2.in the codebehind:

Private Sub ManageFavicon()
    ' read the ico from cache
    Dim strFavicon As String = CType(DataCache.GetCache("FAVICON" & PortalSettings.PortalId.ToString), String)
    If strFavicon = "" Then
       ' if exists
       If File.Exists(PortalSettings.HomeDirectoryMapPath & "favicon.ico") Then
           strFavicon = PortalSettings.HomeDirectory & "favicon.ico"
           If Not Common.Globals.PerformanceSetting = Common.Globals.PerformanceSettings.NoCaching Then
               ' write to cache 
               DataCache.SetCache("FAVICON" & PortalSettings.PortalId.ToString, strFavicon)
           End If
       End If
    End If
    
   If strFavicon <> "" Then
       
       Dim objLink As HtmlGenericControl = New HtmlGenericControl("LINK")
       objLink.Attributes("rel") = "SHORTCUT ICON"
       objLink.Attributes("href") = strFavicon
       Dim ctlFavicon As Control = Me.FindControl("FAVICON")
       ctlFavicon.Controls.Add(objLink)
   End If
End Sub

From this article:

In Internet Explorer 5 and Internet Explorer 6, a shortcut icon does not appear on the address bar unless the user chooses to add the page as a favorite.
