Webmaster Forum / HTML, CSS, Scripts / HTML / December 2008Favicons, providing more than one size
Hi, How do I provide both a 16x16 and a 32x32 favicon in the png format? I guess the following will not work: ... <head profile="http://www.w3.org/2005/10/profile"> ... <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/images/favicon16.png" /> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/images/favicon32.png" /> ... August > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/images/favicon32.png" /> > ... Firefox seems to always pick the last icon irregardless of its size. August >> Hi, >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > August AFAIK, IE only accepts true icon format, and also looks only for favicon.ico. I got tired of seeing 404s when IE was looking for favicon.ico, so I now make sure that is what it is called, and that it is a true icon file.

I will not let one browser decide where I should put my files on the server, so I think I will make the favicon an extra feature for those who use saner browsers.

At the risk of strating a 100-post flame thread like we have over in a.w.webmaster, I'd like to inquire what your goal in doing this is. What do you expect (or hope) to happen if you can make both sizes available? SignatureJohn I'm just curious, okay? >>> <head profile="http://www.w3.org/2005/10/profile"> > > I know the profile attribute is in the W3C Rec > (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#profiles), but do you > know of anyone making actual use of it? I don't know if Firefox actually uses it but in the mentioned browser the icon is displayed all right. > At the risk of strating a 100-post flame thread like we have over in > a.w.webmaster, I'd like to inquire what your goal in doing this is. What > do you expect (or hope) to happen if you can make both sizes available? I'm expecting the same behaviour as in Windows: the small icon in the address bar and the large one for desktop shortcuts. August > Firefox seems to always pick the last icon irregardless of its size. I know this isn't alt.usage.english but I can't help myself... Use irrespective or regardless instead of irregardless, the prefix "ir-" means "not" so irregardless means "not regardless", probably the opposite of what you intended to say. >> Firefox seems to always pick the last icon irregardless of its size. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > means "not" so irregardless means "not regardless", probably the > opposite of what you intended to say. That is a flammable assertion ... or perhaps inflammable? See http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/irregardless : non-standard, but not necessarily incorrect. The English language is replete with inconsistencies. >>> Firefox seems to always pick the last icon irregardless of its size. >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > but not necessarily incorrect. The English language is replete with > inconsistencies. In this particular case the word has become fetishized... you're considerably more likely to come across it in discussion about its misuse than you are to come across it actually being miused. >>>> Firefox seems to always pick the last icon irregardless of its size. >>> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > considerably more likely to come across it in discussion about its misuse > than you are to come across it actually being miused. Disirregardlessly, it's off-topic. >> Firefox seems to always pick the last icon irregardless of its size. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > means "not" so irregardless means "not regardless", probably the > opposite of what you intended to say. Makes sense, thanks for pointing it out. August (a non-native English speaker from Sweden) >>> Firefox seems to always pick the last icon irregardless of its size. >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > (a non-native English speaker from Sweden) You're welcome. Your English is better than that of many native speakers. > Hi, > > How do I provide both a 16x16 and a 32x32 favicon in the png format? I > guess the following will not work: > > ... A single ICO file can contain several sizes of icons, and Windows picks the one that is appropriate. A program which creates an ICO file should be able to put several images into the single ICO file. I use a freeware program called PNG2ICO to do this. I'm sure that there are many alternatives. |
