Guest FirefoxRocks Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 What Synook suggested should work. A favicon is usually located at the root domain if you have a domain name, so /favicon.ico should work.Also, since the name of the favicon is called "favicon.ico", I don't know why Internet Explorer isn't detecting it.

boen_robot Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Whatt??? But how-come it's working for you in IE 7??? What exactly did you see??? The MARON color square???Please confirm.Thanks.It's working for my IE7 too. I see a red-like (or is that what "maron" looks like?) square.As I said earlier, you only need<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico"/> but as suggested, you should probably add a space at the end, between '"' and '/>', making it: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" /> The type attribute, as suggested by jlhaslip is most of the times (if not always) ignored, so you don't need to include it. It's a few bytes saving after all.If you can't see your square after that, than... I don't know... a currupted IE install? IE 7 beta? An older IE?
