Is there any merit at all to including a "shortcut icon" tag as well? For example:
Code:<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.mysite.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" >

Re: Favicons
Hi Spinny,
I use the "shortcut icon" in my code and it doesn't help IE see png or gif images.

Re: Favicons
Thanks. I'd wondered whether there were any real value added in including it.

Re: Favicons
I have only ever used ico extensions. It is easy to get a free icon editing program that saves such a file e.g. IcoFX
IE7 takes time to display the icon, I do not know why, it was several days before mine appeared. Now they work in firefox and IE7. I have not tried IE8 yet.
I must now try and get down to putting them in another site with XWD.

Re: Favicons
Hi Willie,
IE8 displays the ico favicon and it only takes a few seconds for it to display in the address bar and tab.
