Favorites Icon extension

Favicon document links are broken...

Help, the links are broken
Necessary HTML code not found
February 1, 2005 by Tito Zoulou

 

You say:

«Insert the necessary HTML code inside the <head> section of your document to display a distinguishing icon for the web page in the Favorites menu ...»

After download, I can't get  "the necessary HTML code"; I found only an .mxp file and I am unable to open it.

Help needed please.

Thanks.

You need the Macromedia Extension Manager to install the .mxp and then you can use the command from Dreamweaver.

I added the extension in DW 8, chose the .ico file, but there is no OK after chosing the file and no HTML is added. Am I doing something wrong?

I tried the extension under DW 8 and everything worked fine for me.
Can you explain me with more details what procedure you follow?

Ciao Matteo,

I am doing: Insert>HTML>Head Tags>Favorites Icon

Browse>Icon>favicon.ico. I click on the .ico and nothing happens. Is it because the URL is relative to "Document" and not "Site Root"? I don't have a valid HTTP address yet.

Thank You

When you choose the .ico file (and then you press ok in the browsing dialog) don't you get a code like this in the <head> section of the html?

<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

Hello Matteo,

After choosing my favicon.ico image and clicking OK, there is no HTML added to the code. It doesn't update anything. Here is the code after clicking OK. As you can see, nothing is added to the <head> tag.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">

Got it to work. Thanks

It works when I bypass the insert menu and use the HTML menu. Thanks

I am having this same problem. I do not have the OK button after I select the .ico file. I am using Dreamweaver 8. Thanks!
