    Default Favourites Icon

    A little bit of help needed from any peole with HTML know how.

    I have notices that loads of websites nowadays have thier own wee icons in the address bar, and when you add them to favourites.
    I am working on a website and I have added the following line of HTML into the the code after the <head> part

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://websiteaddress/faveicon.ico" />

    This works fine in Firefox, but doesn't work in IE7 (I have actually noticed that the .org has the same problem)

    I have got the .ico saved to the root directory of the website, so where am I going wrong?

    Thanks in advance
    Eagle my fly, but when was the last time you heard of a weasel being sucked into a jet engine?

    I had a bit of a nightmare getting my .ico to display in IE. It's all to do with the cache. Clear the cache, restart IE, keep refreshing (use Ctrl-F5 or Ctrl while clicking refresh). It will eventually appear in IE. It took me quite a while though.

    It might also be worthwhile renaming it to favicon.ico. Shouldn't affect it but it's a kind of standard name.

    EDIT: Have a look at this page - it helped me when I had the problem.
