I do not have server-side access.
I'm trying to present a custom favicon from a hosted wiki service that provides scripting and CSS access bu开发者_如何学运维t presents its own favicon to all its users.
Is it possible to do something like this but with jQuery? If so, how?
jQuery is Javascript, which runs client-side once a page has been returned.
The request for the favicon is a pure HTTP request from browser to server, no page is loaded. You can only redirect requests like that using server-side techniques (such as the one you linked to).
There are a million ways you can do it server-side (.htaccess files, php redirects, etc.) but jQuery simply is not an option.
The most reliable way is to put /favicon.ico at the root of your site. But to point to another image you can use code like this, as featured at the Wikipedia favicon page:
<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/somepath/image.ico" />
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="/somepath/image.ico" />
Adjust the path and type
value to match the image type.
No jQuery, though I suppose you could write JavaScript to inject these tags into the <head>
so browsers would see them, but it seems easier just to add the html <link>
tags.
No. The search engine spiders mentioned as issues in that post will not load and execute your JavaScript code.
