favicon.ico
does anyone know what file this is?
my form isn't processing properly and the error in my error log says that the favicon.ico file cannot be found...what does this mean?? the message on my site says:
Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions on this page: "http://xxx.com/xxx.html"
what do these two have to do with eachother???
HELP!!! :(
What I do know about the favicon.ico is that it must be in the main directory and not under such folders as images. I don't think there is a correlation between the two errors though, but I might be wrong.
The favicon can go anywhere as long as you include the path to the .ico like this:
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.yoursite.com/path/to/favicon.ico">
you will want an absolute path for best results...
<!-- must be inside the <head> -->
<link rel="Here is the short cut icon" href="../pathFor.ico">
but the problem is that i don't even want a favicon...i don't even know what it is. i have no idea why the error log says it can't find the file because i don't even have the file!!
my main problem is that my form won't send because for some reason the FP server extensions aren't installed properly. my form has [FrontPage Save Results Component] on it which i found out means that the extensions aren't installed...but i did install them!!!:mad:
it's an icon which appears beside your website browser.
What kind of form or forum you running for it not to process properly?
here's the site:
www.xxx.com
username: xx
password: xx
it's hosted on powweb with FP extensions ON and created in FrontPage with FP extensions enabled. I published it through FP.
lan,
i entered the site, and i filled all requirments, but when i clicked "submit" it said
Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions on this page: "http://allegraonline.com/caaforms.html"
when did you last time enable frontpage extensions?
You are getting the same message I do...
I initially turned on FP extensions a few days ago, but then I reinstalled this morning when I saw that it wasn't working properly.
This is my code for the form:
<!--webbot BOT="GeneratedScript" endspan --><form method="POST" action="http://xxx.com/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/caaforms.html" style="text-align: center" onsubmit="return FrontPage_Form1_Validator(this)" name="FrontPage_Form1" webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SELF--" language="JavaScript"> <!--webbot bot="SaveResults" startspan
U-File="http://www.xxx.com/_private/cardinfo.txt"
S-Format="TEXT/TSV" S-Label-Fields="TRUE" B-Reverse-Chronology="FALSE"
S-Email-Format="TEXT/TSV" S-Email-Address="cardinfo@xxx.com"
B-Email-Label-Fields="TRUE" S-Builtin-Fields
U-Confirmation-Url="http://www.xxx.com/confirmation.html" --><strong>[FrontPage Save Results Component]</strong><!--webbot
bot="SaveResults" endspan i-checksum="6561" -->
I tried just deleting the FrontPage Save Results Component but it only comes back again.

Ian, go to http://www.favicon.com/ and click on the link that says "I'm seeing favicon.ico requests in my web site's error_log. What does this mean?"
Jess
Thanks...but the thing is, I didn't even create a favicon...my problem is that my form won't work but when I check the error log it says that the favicon.ico file cannot be found...of course it can't! I didn't create one and I didn't even have any intentions of creating one! :)
I don't know why a problem with my form and the FP extensions is returning that error in the log!! It doesn't make any sense to me!
PS. My name is actually Lan...with an 'L'...it's short for Lana...guess it's confusing with the L and I...sorry
Here's another explanation of the ""favicon.ico not found" Error":
http://www.wdvl.com/Authoring/Design/Images/Favicon/
I see the same error in my logs occasionally and just ignore it. I don't think it has anything to do with your form problem.
ps. Sorry about getting your name wrong, lan :o
:) thanks jess...I'm sure you're right...it probably has nothing to do with my form problem. I contacted Tech Support about it and I'm still waiting for their reply. Every other site I checked out say that if I have the message:
[FrontPage Save Results Component]
in my form, then the FP server extensions aren't installed properly. So I guess that's only a problem that Powweb can fix?
Initially I tried using FormMail, and it worked...but I couldn't figure out how to send the form as a text attachment instead of as the body in an email. So that's why I went back to using FrontPage's method.
I wish there was an easy way to do this!!!
Lana :rolleyes:
1: Go this site and download the program.http://www.xoomhacker.com/favicon.html
2: Make a 32x32 pixel bmp picture and then open the program you just downloaded.
3: Click open to open your bmp picture and then convert it to a favicon icon.
4: The name of the favicon will be "favicon.ico" without the quotation marks.
5: Put this in the main directory and upload it to the server. Once someone bookmarks your site it will show up in their favorites.
Use my site for example: http://www.power-integration.com and bookmark the site and check in your favorites.
Thanks Forsteen...I will use your advice when I get to the point that I can start adding stuff like that to my site. But for now, I really have to figure out how to get my form working...that's the whole purpose of my site!! :(
