problem with favicon

[hockey97]

HI, I need some help. I am working on www.fydreams.com

the problem is that the favicon is not showing up properly.

take a look. you can't see properly. I use gimp.

I resized the image to 16x16.

it was like 407px to 104px something like that originally.

it shows up properly in gimp. I mean I can see the logo nice. Yet when you look at the site it shows the favicon with static colors no logo showing.

why is this?

I looked at the page source, and I believe the favicon has to be of type .ico, not .png

Yes. Instead of


<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon.png">

You should change the extension to .ico and change the HTML to



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


Cheers,

yep, tried those. I tried the .ico format.

I get the same results.

it shows a box with random blotches of color dots.

it dosen't show the logo.

Try clearing your browser's cache -- Ctrl + Shift + Del or go to Tools -> Clear Private Data.

When I visit your site, I see what I think might be your favicon; at least, it looks very much like the main image of your site.

If you're still having trouble after clearing your cache, I'll try to think of something else...
