I''m sure I''m missing something rudimentary here... I seem to be having difficulty getting my favicon to appear. I have my favicon.ico in the public folder. I''ve configured my route.rb to route the intro page to my "home" controller. I''m using application.rb in my views to template the headers and footers. Here is the tag in my <head> in the application.rb: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" /> Any ideas? Dave -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Andrew Thompson http://dathompson.blogspot.com
Most likely it is the missing / before the favicon.ico. The rel="shortcut icon" is for when it is dragged to the desktop. You will also need a rel="icon". Also, you should add a forward slash before the favicon.ico path to make it an absolute path. Try using these: <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/ico" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/ico" /> Tom On 3/4/06, David Andrew Thompson <dandrew.thompson@gmail.com> wrote:> I''m sure I''m missing something rudimentary here... > > I seem to be having difficulty getting my favicon to appear.

Thanks...I changed the code to reflect the appropriate syntax, with my
favicon.ico file in {root}/public , but still nothing.
Then, I changed the target path to "images/favicon.ico" and stuck the
favicon.ico file in the images folder of public so:
<link rel="icon" href="images/favicon.ico"
type="image/ico" />
{root}/public/images/favicon.ico
It''s showing now.

Hi David, I believe some versions of Internet Explorer expect the favicon.ico to be in the root of the website (so in your public folder). So, you may want to keep another copy there... or just move it to the root of the public folder.

2 and a half years later. Well I just had this issue, and closing/reopening the browser made the favicon finally appear!

Anyway even microsoft.com won''t display any favicon, so I won''t even bother. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
