Having a problem where the favicon code seems to change the appearance of the page (tables). Without the favicon code there is a right border on the table. With the favicon, no border. Any ideas?

Enlosing the LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" line in <!-- -->
or removing it entirely are the only ways I have found to restore the border so far.

hi missp...

it's supposed to go like this:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">

not in these:

<!-- -->

give that a try...

Hi Khaki,
I only commented the tag out to see if that made a difference (which it did). I believe we have put in the proper coding for the favicon which looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Home Page</TITLE>
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.palacetools.com/images/favicon.ico">
<!-- Header -->
</HEAD>

But when left as above, the right table border is gone. Removing the favicon code or commenting it out in the <!-- --> allows us to see the border again. Very odd. It is as if that little extra line of code is bumping the table.

hi missp...

okay... i see why you posted that now <!-- oops --> lol :)

but actually...
maybe you need to show the rest of your source code...

it's pretty much impossible to determine why a table would lose it's border if we can't see how you have coded the table (and surrounding elements/script).

and since you mention a "right" table border...
it sounds like css is somehow involved.
(and whatever else may be inside the <head>).

post the code (or provide a link) and i'll look at it for you.

The second one (index3.php) with no shortcut icon shows the border on the right side of the page and is how most of our pages display. If you refresh, the right border goes away, but if you go to another web page and return, the border returns. The index2.php page uses a shortcut icon, and the right border does not appear at all.

I'm not sure why one would affect the other.

This is just the weirdest problem ... and I can't find any documentation online to verify that it might be a known issue with the favicons. *sigh*

:confused:
