Hello Guys,

I having a requirement of not displaying the favicon on few pages. So, to do that
I have mentioned the href attribute of link tag to blank (href="") to make favicon disappear. But unfortunately this is not working as I expected and it still displays the favicon which is placed under root folder.

Can any one help or provide your valuable suggestions on this. I want to display a defalut favicon/blank favicon on the pages on which I dont want to show my actual favicon.

Thanks

Hi,

You must have set the favicon on your master page like this:

XML

<link id="favicon" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="favicon.png" />

You should be able to just pass the name of the icon you want along in the view data and throw it into the head tag. You can change the favicon for the respective page using Javascript by changing the HREF element on this link, for instance (assuming you're using JQuery):

JavaScript

$("#favicon").attr("href","favicon2.png");

Another way here could be, you can add favicon like this:

XML

<link runat="server" rel="shortcut icon" href="" type="image/x-icon" />
<link runat="server" rel="icon" href="" type="image/ico" />

And in .aspx.cs :

C#

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Link1.Attributes.Add("href", "favicon.ico");
    Link1.Attributes.Add("href", "favicon.ico");
}
