Posted July 31, 2015 So here is my code: <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en-US"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>derp</title> <link rel="icon" href="Icon.ico" /> </head> </html> (the Icon file is in the same folder as the HTML file.) Now when I upload this to google drive, and do the "googledrive.com/host/" It works fine and I can see the favicon. My problem is when I use my godaddy domain and point it to the google drive. I see all my text and everything else, but I see the google drive icon instead of mine. (I am using URL forward masking) Any ideas on how to fix this? THIS IS MY SUPER TEENY TINY SIGNATURE! Ain't it just the cutest little signature. Some would argue it is the cutest little signature ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 31, 2015 Author try that, removed the last slash. <link rel="icon" href="Icon.ico"> also make sure the filename is the same, with the capital i File name is correct, and I removed the slash. Still doesn't work. I talked to a godaddy guy and he said that there is no way to fix my issue at this time... THIS IS MY SUPER TEENY TINY SIGNATURE! Ain't it just the cutest little signature.

Posted July 31, 2015 Author If you're using Chrome, press F12, right click the refresh button, empty cache and hard reload Nope. I didn't expect this to work, but tried anyways. here is how I have my site set up. HTML files+images+fonts+icon in a folder Folder auto syncs to my google drive. Google drive is shared publicly. I used the googledrive.com/hosts/ and I am able to access my html pages and view it as a website. (the icons work correctly at this stage) I then got a godaddy domain and "forward with masking" and forwarded to the googledrive.com/hosts/ URL. (now the icons don't work.)

Posted August 10, 2015 Well you can try to put some javascript to reload icon after everything is set. Maybe google's icon overwrite yours because is loaded after yours. <html> <head> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico"> </head> <body> ..... etc ..... <script> $(document).ready(function() { // User jQuery $("link[rel='shortcut icon']").attr("href", "favicon2.ico"); }); </script> </body> </html> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
