Can someone please go to my website and view the source to see why my favicon.ico is not working on IE? It works in Firefox. Thanks!
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.mightymo.netI">http://www.mightymo.netI</a><!-- m --> don't beleive that you can get a favicon to work with IE, -they prefer to louse-up your page with their document logo.
-Did you know that you have two "<body>" tags in your code? (and quite a few other 'warnings').
You can have favicons with IE! Go to <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.amazon.com">www.amazon.com</a><!-- w --> for example and add it to your favorites.
Any help with my code would be much appreciated. If there are certain parts (or all of it ) that you can fix just paste it and I'll fix it tonight.What version if IE are you using? At the moment, I am using Firefox so cannot test this. Checking the code and CSS of amazon.com, -I cannot even find their link to favicon.ico image. Maybe they have some other arrangement to make this happen, -I don't know. Issues surrounding IE not doing what it should don't cause me to lose too much sleep. 
Place the "favicon.ico" in the root folder and remember M$IE only shows it in the URL too if it's stored in the "Favorites".Change
<link rel="shortcut icon" href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"Images/favicon.ico" />
to
<link rel="shortcut icon" href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"http://mightymo.net/images/favicon.ico" />
BTW -- Anytime the user cleans out their cache, your shortcut icon is deleted. If you have IE set to clean out the cache every time you exit (as many web developers do), that could be the problem.
KDLAOK I will try these later, thanks!OK I tried both things from the last two posts and still nothing. Oh well, guess I'll just give up. But WebJoel said I have two "<body>" tags, I only see one......

I'm using IE 6, and I find that IE shows the favicon in the bookmarks off and on, while Firefox consistantly shows the favicon in both the address window and the bookmark.
Does anyone else know any tricks/hacks to get IE to cooperate?Hi all - I thought i would bump this thread because I'm having the exact same problem.

Check your IE settings.

I don't think IE6 was ever able to consistently and correctly display favicons. IE7 seems to do it fine.
DaveI use IE7 and the favicon for my Web site is now showing up fine. However it didn't at first. It took like a month which is rediculous. In Firefox it showed up immediately. But it's showing up now. Don't know why it all of a sudden decided to show up.I use IE7 and the favicon for my Web site is now showing up fine. However it didn't at first.

Probably because there was a cookie or a temporary file that finally aged out after a month. I've had no issue updating IE7 to see favicons, just by deleting the temp files and restarting IE.

That should be href, not ref
