Favorite Icon 1

< div dir="ltr" align="left">The original favicon feature was created by Microsoft for < a title="Internet Explorer" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer">Internet Explorer< /a> which would request a favicon from a set URL (/favicon.ico) on every website. Microsoft's supported format for the link tag did not conform to the < a title="World Wide Web Consortium" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web_Consortium">World Wide Web Consortium< /a> (W3C) < a title="HTML" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML">HTML< /a> recommendation < a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon#cite_note-1">[2]< /a> because:
The rel attribute must contain a space-< a class="mw-redirect" title="Delimited" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delimited">delimited< /a> list of link types, so a two-word link type would not be understood correctly by conforming web browsers. (viz. rel="shortcut icon")
The "< a title="ICO (icon image file format)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICO_(icon_image_file_format)">.ico< /a>" file format (a < a title="Raster graphics" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raster_graphics">raster< /a> format used for icons on Microsoft Windows) did not have a registered < a title="MIME" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME">MIME< /a> type and wasn't likely to be automatically understood by most web browsers. In 2003, however, the format was registered with the < a title="Internet Assigned Numbers Authority" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Assigned_Numbers_Authority">Internet Assigned Numbers Authority< /a> (IANA) under the MIME type image/vnd.microsoft.icon, eliminating the first part of this problem.
The use of a reserved location on a website conflicts with the < a class="external text" title="http://www.w3.org/TR/webarch/" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/webarch/" rel="nofollow">Architecture of the World Wide Web< /a> and is known as link squatting or URI squatting.
The < a title="Mozilla" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla">Mozilla< /a> web browser added support for favicons in a way that conformed to web standards through the use of rel="icon" and letting web designers add favicons in any supported graphics format, e.g.

< html>
< head>
< title>Title< /title>
< link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
< /head>
< body>
< /body>
< /html><
br>
Most web browsers have since added support for this feature, and it is generally used for all new content.< /div>
