HTML query - NLC

delands · Post by **delands** » Sun Nov 11, 2007 3:15 pm

Got a query with regards to using an ICO file as in

ink rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="http://www.delands.force9.co.uk/SE.ico"

it works when using http://www.delands.force9.co.uk

however when using http://www.scottish-elises.org.uk it doesn't. This address has cloaked redirection to the delands site.

Response from people that look after the redirection:
caused of this was html code. So you've to debug this code and upload that file to solve the problem.

My HTML aint that good and I cant see any reference to problems on the www. Anyone here with the know how?

Hard to explain what you have done, but it's because you are stuffing one domain inside another domains frameset (I think).

Make sure your FAVICON.ICO file is uploaded to both domains root folders and it will work a treat.

In otherwords make sure the following exists:

http://www.scottish-elises.org.uk/SE.ico (It doesnt).

Also, no HTML is required to display the FAVICON.ICO file in the address bar, it's automatically included (at least in IE).

scottish-elises.org.uk is just a registered domain name with no html.

When anyone types it in they are discretely redirected to delands.force9.co.uk

All the HTML is held at delands.

The SE.ico file is held in root directory at delands.

I am sure if I didnt code the link line even though the ico file was in root, it still didnt show.

Don't think that's right del, the top page of your site has teh following code:

Code: Select all

<HTML>
  <HEAD><META></HEAD>
  <FRAMESET>
    <FRAME>
    <FRAME>
  </FRAMESET>
  <NOFRAMES>
    <BODY>
      <P><A>Click here to continue</A></P>
    </BODY>
  </NOFRAMES>
</HTML>

Which doesn't include your .ico reference. There's no redirection happening anywhere there's just loading of http://www.delands.force9.co.uk into a frame in a page held by the company where you registered the domain name. That's why you don't see the full path of any pages unless you open them in a new window.

Dunno why that's happening but some of that code is being stripped out. Anyway to see what I mean go to http://www.scottish-elises.org.uk and select "View source" or "view page source" from the toolbar on IE/Firefox/whatever and you'll see it.

Looks like you've got domain forwarding rather than full blown domain hosting

e.g.
http://www.scottish-elises.org.uk/what% ... e%20do.htm
doesn't work
but
http://www.delands.force9.co.uk/what%20do%20we%20do.htm
does

Think Easyspace call it redirecting.

However, I will speak to them and let them know that the HTML is being stripped when redirection is being applied. It's never been an issue before but now I am doing something very petty it's bugging me!

It's not being stripped, this forum was stripping some code I pasted but your forwarding is working as expected. I doubt you'll get it to work as you want unless you pay for a proper domain hosting service instead of just forwarding.

Thanks Simon.

It was just an idea I had to get it put on.

If you have viewed my HTML, you will probably find it's a load of cr@p in places and could be tidied up a fair bit.

I didn't look at the rest of it, spend enough time doing that mon-fri, last thing I want to see at the weekend is more bloody code

Thanks for your assistance though.
