This is a VERY simple way to change the Favicon on your website.
link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="STARTING FAVICON URL GOES HERE" id="icon" / ---- Add < at the start and > at the end for it to work!
<script type="text/javascript"> var url = 'YourURLHere'; function changeIcon() { document.getElementById("icon").href = url; } </script>
