How do you get a favicon to appeat consistently across your site ?
With the roll out of IE7 more people will be exposed to favicons and so I thought I would add one to my site.
I created my favicon.ico and ftp'd it to my www root directory.
I also edited the HTML in my index file as follows:
Insert the following HTML tag inside the <head> ... </head>
section of your web page.
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" >
This worked ok but was a quick fix as this was a manual amendment and would be lost when my index page is next updated by an upload.
To make it perm I added this HTML tag to the Act_Primary template and added the favicon.ico to Site 1 root folder and registered it through additional files.
All seemed well but I noted that some pages on the site showed the favicon and others didn't. These pages resided in acatolog and so I dropped a copy of the favicon in there and again registered it.
I thought this was a good a plan until I tried to upload and kept getting failures at the merge point. Once I backed out these changes the upload and merge worked fine.
Any ideas what I was doing wrong ?
Any suggestions on how I can get the favicon to appear for all the pages in my site ?
Thanks
