Have you uploaded the icon to your server? It has to be online.

Try clearing your temp. internet files and then refresh your browser. Shows up for me in both IE and Firefox.

Some Browsers won't support it, what u using? Also, check your Public HTML Folder, do u see it?

Speaking of the icon deal.
I have one computer that IE7 won't display my icon. Firefox is fine with it.
It does show up in IE7 on another of my computers just fine.

So.....what's with IE7 on this malcontent puter? Is there a button I need to push in the back ground?

You might want to check your browser's internet settings as well. Maybe it's not defaulted to display the favicon. But like WM said, some browsers do not support it. That might also be the main reason.

yes, it in the root folder and the linked folder.

Done, no difference.

Did you make it yourself, is it 16x16 ? There are free favicon generators on the net.. also same thing happened to me more then once, and eventually it shows up, could be some weird quirk.

I've never messed around with any of the favicons but in comparing your code with a sites code that has a working favicon I see a difference.

Your code looks like this...
< link rel="shortcut icon" href="linked/favicon.ico >

but the working site I looked at looks like this...
< link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" / >


Not sure.

When I built the latest site for our company, it took 3 months for that icon to show up!
