[oak perl] Experience with browser favicon.ico?

[Jon Seidel CMC]

Got it!  

 

First of all, thanks to Randal for a quick test and then a re-test when I
figured it out.

 

1. The icon editor was saving the file incorrectly, for some reason. I
downloaded GIMP, opened the file, re-saved it (no changes) and now the file
works OK.

2. Browsers (at least some of them) cache the favicon once it's loaded and
won't reload it unless you clear cache.

 

Now it works just fine.

 

Enjoy.jon

Subject: Experience with browser favicon.ico?

 

Anyone had experience with setting up a favicon.ico for browsers? They
require a 16x16 @ 16 colors icon file (.ico), and that's what I've setup,
but it doesn't seem to work properly. I've had one working for quite a
while, tweaked it, and now it doesn't work :-(

 

www.edpci.com <http://www.edpci.com/>  - would you mind checking it out and
letting me know (1) if it works for you, and (2) if not, what happens?

 

The actual icon can be downloaded from www.edpci.com/favicon.ico.

 

Thanks much. have a fantastic holiday!
