You upload favicon.ico to your root directory

you mean in skin1css ? there is nothing pointing to favicon
there is a favicon look at
http://www.promenada.nl/favicon.ico

i`ve searched the threads but i don`t now where to look.

I'm not sure that I understand your questions, but if you want display the favicon icon in web browser just put favicon.ico image in web root, don't edit skin1.css or any other template file.

ok, i understand but how do you put it in the web root, you mean customer /home.tpl ?

from the beginning to make things clear:
there is a favicon on my site but i don`t know how it came there. it is a stange favicon so i searched in images there was a file named favicon.ico i opend it and it was empty. so i made a new favicon and put it in this file.
I also searched skincss and cutomer/main.tpl but there was no line with favicon mentioned in this thread.
so i searched the root. there were only 3 files in. i must be a small thing but it don`t know were to look anymore, what am i doing wrong ?

The file favicon.ico is the little icon displayed just to the left of the URL in the bar of your web browser. It is a 16 pixel by 16 pixel bitmap image. There are several web sites that can create a favicon.ico for you from a image you supply, just Google favicon maker online".

Once you have you favicon.ico, just upload it to the root (public_html) folder of your web site, and that is it, you are done!

Hello Jwait, thanx but this info i allready read on the forum.
problem is when i upload favicon.ico the system says :"allready exits"
and public html do you mean staticpages ?

Overwrite it then. It should be the root folder, public_html. It is the folder people see when they go to www.yoursite.com.
