Hi

Quick question. Where do we put favicon so that it works with all the pages generated by webwork?

I have just placed it in the main document directory for the apache server: e.g. at http://math.webwork.rochester.edu

This is directory called /ww/htdocs on our machine -- but the exact location is designated in the httpd.conf file for apache.

(Note that the domain name of our machine has changed. The old name will continue to work for awhile.)

From what I have seen, you need to have favicon.ico readable and executable. If you want it to be used in the location bar for browsers (e.g., go to http://webwork.asu.edu and look at your location bar), then you need to add the following to the head of a document:
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://webwork.asu.edu//favicon.ico">
This can be added to the webwork template file if you want it for all your webwork generated pages.

John
