Subject: Walone2.ico - a re-send of the missing favicon.ico file
Dear Jimbo,
This is the favicon file which got lost during the software upgrade.
It should be the most recent 16x16 version, and should be installed at
http://www.wikipedia.com/favicon.ico
In an ideal standards-compliant world, generated pages would have
<link rel="shortcut icon"
href="http://www.wikipedia.com/favicon.ico">
added to their HEAD sections.
* M$ browsers are hard-wired to find the favicon at the location given
_unless_ the 'link rel' stuff is in the page, in which case they will
use that
* pure W3C standards-compliant browsers won't find the icon unless the
link rel stuff is in the page
* Mozilla changes its policy from release to release...
I hope this is useful.
-- Neil
