fav.icio.us

Last update on Feb 2, 2006

A script to add favicons next to posted links on del.icio.us

Note: I don't use del.icio.us, these days, so I haven't been maintaining this script. Might work for you, might not.

---

The fav.icio.us hack adds the favicon of a site next to it's bookmark on del.icio.us.

It's rather simplistic - it only bothers to try http://host/favicon.ico, rather than the correct method of parsing the <link> in the header of the page itself, but that would certainly be too expensive.

At present, it will remove the image if it doesn't load, but it may be faster, rendering-wise, to replace it with an inline generic link image. Feedback appreciated.

So hey, it doesn't work in FF2 either, without a change. However, fav.icio.us2 http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/3406 does seem to work.

Fix for ff 1.5.x + GM 0.6.4: Just replace favicon.onXXX by favicon.wrappedJSObject.onXXX. For an in-depth explanation of what's going on see:

*Sigh* Works for me in FF 1.0.7/GM 0.5.3. Betcha using different versions, yes? Can you tell me what the js console had to say for itself when you run it?

Would love to have this script. But it doesn't seem to work, or it may be that none of the 175 items I have posted have favicons...
