Favicons - Converting PNG/JPG to ICO

[Guest]

Hello,

Im trying to find a way to convert a png/jpg image to a favicon.ico in Coldfusion 8/9?  Any help or ideas are appreciated.

Thanks!

What do you mean by 'in' ColdFusion 8 or 9?

If you are thinking of users uploading images and then having CF convert them, I don't think that is something it is meant to do.  You might be able to find something in Java that does this and then tap CF's ability to use Java to extend itself.

If you just want to use png/jpg as a favicon in your html, just put the appropiate HTML markup into your document to do this, most browsers will understand it.

It's not mandatory to convert the image into .ico format, really.

Thanks all!  Im mainly looking for a script that will convert jpg/png files to ico.  I didn't think there was a way to convert them with CF but thought I would see if anyone had come across any Coldfusion Open Source project that someone came up with recently.  I'll probably have to go the Java route if I want to still go this way, it will take some time since Im not an experienced Java programmer, but in between I'll just use the different html tags to represent/display the specific image type.  Thanks again for your help.

What did you end up doing?

If I remember correctly we created a PNG and used that file instead of the ICO. Then made the appropriate changes to the HTML to get it to work.
