How can you add an icon next to the address bar of a browser?

Question

I have a website and I made a nice icon that I would like to display in the address bar \ navigation toolbar. Does anyone know a way to sort that out in html or css? Thank you so much!

Answer 1

Create a image with size 16X16 pixels and of format .ico, some browser can use .jpg or .gif formats too. Preferably create a .ico image.

We have used a gif [] as a favicon for this page.

Upload the image file in to your directory [preferably root dir].

Use the following html code inside the tag of your web page.

Example 1: Using complete path



The link tag does the magic. Give the complete path of the uploaded image in href attribute.

Example 2: Using the path from the root dir



Here we use the path beginning from the root dir. i.e if the image or icon is present under xcvxcvxcv.com/images/... the path should begin from /images/....

The address bar image also called as favicon may not work properly in IE browsers. Test it with a browser like mozilla or firefox. Create your .jpg/.gif files, it can be converted to .ico using some free online utilities.

Answer 2

Get an icon you go with (have have been given to be an .ico record) and then rename it favicon.ico Load it upto the foundation of your internet internet site (the bit wherein the whole pages are) and refresh your browser a pair of activities. reckoning on browser it may take a on a similar time to examine in it whether it certainly will could desire to artwork.
