Anyone know how to add a favicon to a website in Publisher 2007?

[Anne Gardner]

It seems as though it should be simple enough. On the index.htm page, insert
an html code box and then place the following code inside (favicon.ico file
is saved in root directory):

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

I also tried to hard code it directly into the html under /head, but to no
avail.

Any thoughts?

No need to do anything in publisher
Just load your favicon.ico on your root directory of the server

Did that, of course. Funny thing with that too is while normally the
application icons show up, the favicon just shows a blank page for its icon
instead of the picture within...

Still stumped...

IE has a quirk regarding favicons sometimes

you can add try adding this
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

just above
/head

but this may be hard to do in Publisher.

another way is to Bookmark your index page and it should appear in IE after
that.

I see the back square favicon with IE 8 Vista
