Title: Shortcut icon - new logo
Post by: ODrides on June 11, 2008, 11:46:32 AM
Hi Mods,

Can you get the webmaster to create an shortcut icon for the DMF that works with Internet Explorer?  I see it with Firefox, but not with IE.  The html code is:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="[iconname].ico">

Thanks!

From IE can you just go FILE ------> SEND  --------> SHORTCUT TO DESKTOP?

No, I meant the icon that appears in the left corner of the address bar.  Google has a "G".  TOB has its logo.  I call it "shotcut icon" becuase that's how it's refered to in html code.  It will also appear next to the website name in the "favorites" or "bookmarks" pull-down menu.

It should work as is.  I have it showing on my machine with Mozilla and IE6, and also my other machine with IE7.  It took some delting of temp files, deleting old book marks, and then re-bookmarking the dmf.

Even though MS invented the favicon, IE is the worst at displaying it.  Do a google search on it if it still isn't working.
