OWB 3.17

Anyone wants to share info on how to use favicon on own page. How big in pixels, what to call it (name) and where to place it.

@Kicko

I did it this way : created an icon 16x16 in Photogenics, saved as png. Then with png2ico (os4depot) converted to favicon.ico
You place it in the root of your web-site and voil?.
You can look the result in my personal page with OWB :

I can't login at ebay anymore
Ebay says that OWB 3.17 doesn't support cookies. I deleted the file cookieCollection.db before and can log me in at amigans.net, amazon and so on. Only ebay.de seems to strike with the new version!

Any ideas?

@joerg

OWB has gone back to resizing it's window to extend way past the edge of the screen. This happens especially when multi-tabs are open, but sometimes even with only one tab.

Once this has happened it is very difficult to grab the window and move it so I can resize it back down again. (the window gadgets are way off beyondd view once this happens. )

There was similar behavior earlier when tabs were first introduced. I'll try disabling tabs and see what happens.

(the word wrapping propblem is very evident as I write this on screen. I'll see what happens when I post it as is.)

Thanks for the continuing work!

Logging in and out of www.ebay.com works great for me.
Are you using www.ebay.de?

Thanks for the help on favicons. I made one for my page just for test. This one works and is on my local internet providers space.

If i use my registered domain with cloke funktion to show regged url. Then the favicon dont work. Its still same page but with own domain name.

@Kicko

You need a header, ideally. One or both of these (with the obvious changes) will do fine. I forget why there are two.

<link rel="icon" href="http://www.domain.com/icon.gif" type="image/gif">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.domain.com/icon.ico">

Anyone else who got problems with Gmail and OWB3.17?

@logicalheart

Yes, you're right, I use www.ebay.de!
In the meantime I switched back to OWB 3.15, because the login at myspace doesn't work with 3.17, too

@thread

For people tryning to connect with site requiring logins/passwords, two importants things towith OWB 3.17 :

1? Delete the file named cookieCollection.db from the OWB drawer
2? Check that the tooltype COOKIEDB=cookieCollection.db is active

You can now launch OWB 3.17 and (I have no more problem of login on the sites I usually visit).

@Chris

I already use that lines inside head. The second line is used for internet explorer as they as usual dont follow rules. I use frames for my page.

So my page on my local internet dealers space works with favicon.
http://web.comhem.se/kicko/transplant/

But if i use my regged domain which my local internet delers space is pointing to (cloaked) then it doesnt work. i tried with pointing the favicon to both my domain and the dealers space.
http://www.psykicko.com/

I use the funktion "URL frame" to cloak my page and show www.psykicko.com instead of the comhem.

@Kicko

As for the favicon thing, you should be able to use 32x32 icons too, and the browser will scale them. Many sites use 32x32 icons... It appears however that OWB doesn't have the scaling function implemented though...

@Daedalus

I wil make 32x32 when owb has the scaling funktion. I think 32x32 is used for bookmarks and ofcourse would be nice with a better looking then 16x16 :)

@Kicko

You need to put the tags on the cloaking page, not on the page that has been cloaked.

@Chris

Cloaking page is something active-domain does. Its just a way to redirect so i dont think i can do anything there. It just points to my original page. Normally if you dont choose cloaking the page would show my original page when entering www.psykicko.com

If i dont use cloak then it would show http://web.comhem.se/kicko/transplant/

@gurus2000

Cant't reproduce this - I logged in and out at www.ebay.de without any problems ?!

@cha05e90

After some time something happens to that .db file. I had problems at several pages and also on amigans. If i remember right on amigaworld too. So after a delete of that .db file everything is fine for some time.
