Changing favicon using css?

[edward301]

My website has three colours red, green and blue these are different style sheets switched using javascript.

I would like to specify a different favorite icon for each style.

So the red style sheet for example would load a red favicon.

Neat idea...but....

As far as I know favicon files are not exposed to css code in any way. They were created for favorites or bookmarking (hence the name) which is not directly involved with page rendering. Newer browsers like Opera and Firefox have been using the favicon in other ways (address bar, tabs) but it's still not part of the page rendering itself, and it's not an html element.

If the stylesheets were switched server-side, there might be a way to do it but the reward would not justify the effort.

Kaled.

Thank you for the feedback i think im going to use a bit of simple php to detect the selected style sheet and display the alternative favicon that way.
