It isnt suppose to do that in firefox, hence "favicon" - Favourites Icon. IE is doing it the "proper" way and not showing it.

Both I.E. and F.F. show it on msghelp.net
[and it is not in my favories]

favicon = Favorites Icon. So it should show in the favorites in IE but if it isnt then goto another site and come back to yours, refresh a few times ..... it comes up eventually (dunno why but it does
)

RE: Favicon HTML Code by Mike on 11-20-2005 at 07:15 AM
Msghelp.net favincon not showing in IE...
RE: RE: Favicon HTML Code by rav0 on 11-20-2005 at 08:11 AM
In Internet Explorer 7 without being bookmarked, a favicon is showing next to the the title in the tab for shoutbox.menthix.net, www.msgplus.net and www.google.com.au. It is showing in the address bar for www.google.com.au but not shoutbox.menthix.net or www.msgplus.net.
In Opera and Firefox shoutbox.menthix.net, www.msgplus.net and www.google.com.au have a favicon displayed next to the title in the tab and in the address bar. shoutbox.menthix.net and www.msgplus.net are not bookmarked, a page at www.google.com.au is bookmarked in Opera.
RE: Favicon HTML Code by Death001 on 11-20-2005 at 02:06 PM
just for the record all you have to do is save the file in your dir/ as favicon.ico and it will automaticly become favicon for that dir/ and all its sub directorys. Internet Explorer should show it but normally its just a bit slower displaying it, if you go to the page enough it will update sooner or later.
RE: Favicon HTML Code by rav0 on 11-21-2005 at 05:21 AM
Just placing the file favicon.ico and not actually referencing it is a really old method, and it isn't for the current directory and all subdirectories, it should be placed in the web root and for the whole domain.
