I have cleared the cache three times and closed and reopened the browser and IE 7 continues to display the old icon. That isn’t surprising as any flavor of IE is garbage. IE is slow and bug riddled Firefox and Google Chrome are substantially faster, and they conform to W3C standards which IE doesn’t. When you are developing a website you can dumb down your code to work with IE or check which browser the viewer is using and write special code for IE and then code for the rest of the browsers. Check this site http://distinctiveblinds.com with Firefox and then with IE; the Firefox code is pure CSS and the IE site is pure CSS but to achieve the same look in IE I would have to use image files (which load slower) because IE doesn’t support the full CSS standard. - vince Fri, 16 Apr 2010 21:25:47 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2007050865/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-favicon#comment-2033 I finally changed favicon.

I found that was the only way to do this.

If you are using Firefox/Mozilla/Flock etc, then right click the page and select "VIEW PAGE SOURCE" When the page opens, look for something like this, using this site as an example: Here you will see that the favicon.ico reside in the htj_960 template folder. You should use ftp or cPanel etc, to place you favicon.ico file in your chosedn templates location. This procedure is also try for your administration pages. The majority of users will use the standard admin template, so using the above procedure go look at: Again, upload your file to that location. As you say that your site only shows a white page, then it most likely that the template you use, does not have a favicon.ico supplied with it. For those that say they have tried and it does not work, try purging your cache, via Tools in the Admin Panel. Then clear your browsers cache (CTRL + F5) Would be interesting to know. - Simon Wells Wed, 22 Jul 2009 09:26:58 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2007050865/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-favicon#comment-1621 Hello, I am new to this by the way,i have searched in my joomla image folders and in my ftp image folders and i can not find any icon named favicon in order for me to replace it, also my website shows by default not the joomla favicon but just a white page icon. Now this is a template i am using so probably they have have changed something but anyway i uploaded my favicon in the images folder but nothing, should i upload it in my ftp or from my joomla backend? - kerastes Wed, 22 Jul 2009 06:26:02 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2007050865/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-favicon#comment-1571 orchid1 try these steps. remove the favourite from you brower. Clear your browser cache. Load the site back up and now add it to favourites. I had the same problem and this fixed my issue. - Joomla Hosting Mon, 08 Jun 2009 20:16:51 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2007050865/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-favicon#comment-1449 Id id this but the Favicon on my browsers favorite toolbar is still the joomla favicon. any ideas. - orchid1 Sat, 11 Apr 2009 11:34:50 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2007050865/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-favicon#comment-1440 My images folder does not have a favicon.ico.
