favorites/favicon.icon
« on: January 05, 2006, 12:35:47 AM »

Can we use the favicon.icon or image/png link on zbox?  I have tried both without success.  When I click on the file I get a message about info can't be used.  If I click on the resize 16x16 I can see the image but it does not show up on my web page in the bar on on a favorites page.  Can this be done with webTV?

Thanks in advance, Linda

I doubt very much even the latest MSN2TV units will register favicons Linda, but if you include the coding in your pages, PC users will see the result. smile

Hi Linda,
For the "Favs" icons for Webtv, create a gif image no more than 24 x 24 pixels. Then in your body tag, put this code:

logo="urlofimage.gif"

That will work for Webtv. Also you "can" make it so PC users can see your icon also. You need to make a seperate copy of your gif file, sized no larger than 16 x 16 pixels, and convert it to the .ico file extension. It must be converted, simply changing the file extension won't work. Then put the icon in your root directory and name the file "favicon.ico". Then in your page code you must put this code in:

<link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="/favicon.ico">

The best place to put the coding is in your <head> tag. And of course Webtv won't be able to see the .ico file.

Hope that helps,

Bert
