Re: Favicons
Which version of IE are you using? I'm using IE8 and it shows your icon in the address bar and on the tab.

Re: Favicons
Internet Explorer 6 will not show a favicon until the site is added to Favorites.
Versions 7 & 8 will show the favicon when the webpage is rendered on screen.

Re: Favicons
Soquili, Thanks for the indepth explanation... it helped a bunch. It literally took me hours and hours though to get this to work. I kept redoing the code, updating & even checking out other sites with favicons to double check their source code. I moved that darn Favicon in every folder in my site ... and though your info helped GREATLY... my end result for me to get it to work... was not adding the folder it resided in as part of the code. Not sure why I did not need it. It was just basically the site url and the name of the favicon and that was it. But dang, took me FOREVER to get it to work. haha...
but again, Thanks for spelling it out, that with my extra legwork got this thing working properly.
Here is what I ended up with (along with adding <head> as the Name allocated to the Rectangle placeholder box):
<link rel="icon" href="http://future.eyescreamjewelry.com/Eyescreamjewelry_RedEyeballFavicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
thanks again... now to press on with those pesky navigations.

Re: Favicons
Sorry to refresh the thread and double sorry to reask the same question that's been asked about 4 times now!!But I am having quite the time getting my favicon to show in IE. FF was absolutely NO problem, went the first time. But IE 7 & 8 won't show. I copied Eyescream's code (and tried several others) so it looks like this:
<link rel="icon" href="http://www.-----.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
I have the icon named "favicon.ico" under the MAIN directory and under the subfolder, index_htm_files. When entering the address manually, it comes up, so it is there.
One thing- the favicon is 32pix x 32pix. Would this be a problem? As I said, Firefox shows it fine. Any help would be appreciated!

Re: Favicons
hi Meltsner, I'm no expert on this and only going to respond after checking out other posts I read about IE not showing some Favicons. Not sure why it is, some say it takes time for it to show up (days) some say try updating to IE8 which I did & doesn't show up for me either in IE8 (which doesn't bother me so much since I don't really use IE but only problem for my customers potentially not seeing it that use IE over Firefox.
Now If I go to my Currently active website... my favicon does show up in IE. But that site has been up for a while & created in a different program, so maybe that has something to do with it, or maybe truly some do take a bit of time to show up.
The code for that one was:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="MyEye_favicon.ico" >
So it must have been a Program thing... as I couldn't get this same code (with new favicon image) to work in XWD which is why I changed it to code above in previous post.
Also, when I created my favicon, I went to a site on info how to create & what sizes (and even though you stated yours show fine in firefox or Mozilla or what have you) the size they gave was 16pix by 16pix. Though I created larger perfect square then when finished I scaled down b4 saving.
Anyway, so keep us updated if you find something that works for IE & I'll do the same though I spent 2 straight days just trying to get it to work period & not on my list of things currently at them moment.
Good Luck and post a link so I can check out your favicon in action :P
