how to set favicon on my publish page?

Question

Hello ,

I am using SP 2013 and have a publish site collection. i create a custom master page and then create a publish page from this master page.

However the favicon is always null :

The left tab is my publish page and the right one is sharepoint page.

i tried following code in my master page:

<SharePoint:SPShortcutIcon runat="server" IconUrl="sitecollection/CN/Style%20Library/Image/favicon-16x16.png" />  

but it does not work. F12 network tab shows the icon has been download. but the browser tab icon still is blank.

Can you help me?

thanks

Hi @kong ,

Looks like you miss a / character in the begining when using relative path of the image. It should be

IconUrl="/sitecollection/CN/Style%20Library/Image/favicon-16x16.png"  

Also you could try to use absolute path of the image:

 IconUrl="http://sp/sitecollection/CN/Style%20Library/Image/favicon-16x16.png"
