    Hi Egg,

    It may be IE8 that is giving me problems using a png.

    Amateur mentioned he wasn't getting the icon using IE so I created a simple test file and a png for the favicon. After putting them into a folder on my webhost and connecting using IE8 and FireFox the icon is shown in the address bar of FF but not in IE8.

    Both FF and IE8 display the favicon for my XaReg pages

    This is from the beta version Bill but it does appear to be an outstanding problem LINK

    Thanks Egg.

    I don't know if wikipedia hasn't been updated but they state that IE does not support using gif or png for favicons.
