how do you insert an icon in web browser address field
I have noticed with increasing regularity an icon appearing at the start of the address in the url field before the "http://"
Does anyone know how to do this?
search on favicon.ico - basically create an image in the ico format of either 16 x 16 or 32 x 32 pixels and upload it to your webiste - briwsers find it automatically.
I have created in icon and uploaded it via the extra files option but I still cannont see it in the browser address is there another way that I have to up load it.
If I use an ftp program I can see the favicon.ico in the sam directory as the index.htm
I think you will need to clear you cache before you can see it, since you have already visited the site you can't see it - a known feature of favicons to confuse.
yeah it should be ctrl with a blue Z underneath
Have cleared the cache and tried another pc still cant see it but if you can see it it must be out there somewhere

Done that. As is mentioned elsewhere on this thread - I put it in my 'additional files', but it doesn't appear to be showing. I've cleared cache etc. Have I missed something?
Trying to squeeze my moneys worth out of V7 - but not for much longer!
Putting it in the additional files list won't help if you have referrenced the favicon on the root. Additional files are uploaded to the acatalog folder.
Favicons are sometimes a bit wierd - you may have to go into your explorer cache and manually delete them. You could also try with Firefox instead. I remember in some cases you also had to first add the site link to your favourites before you see the icon.
EDIT: You'll also need to add the link reference in your template/layout.
