Hi Jeremy, Normally I do use the $:/favicon.ico mechanism. I just came across one of my classic TWs using an embedded icon and thought: Maybe it works in TW5 when using the $:/tags/RawMarkup tag and it did. The <link rel="shortcut icon" href="Images/Favicon.ico"> did not work as I reported.
So it was just experimenting for fun ;-) Cheers, Ton On Wednesday, October 15, 2014 8:26:26 PM UTC+2, Jeremy Ruston wrote: > > Hi Ton > > Why wouldn't you just use the $:/favicon.ico mechanism?
