Try <link rel="shortcut icon" Type="image/x-icon" href="http://www.mysite.com/images/myicon.ico"> IE can be picky

Hi,

I think you have to complete your code with :
type="image/x-icon"
and also, put the file "myicon.ico" at the root of your site and not in the images folder.
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="images/myicon.ico"/>

Good luck.

Re: Short Cut Icon

What doctype are you using?

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/youriconname.ico" />
will work in both ie and ff if you are using xhtml 1.0 T

you might also try:
<link rel="Shortcut Icon" type="image/ico" href="/favicon.ico" />
or end with: href="favicon.ico" /> and put the favicon directly in the public_html folder and not in a subfolder.

Re: Short Cut Icon

I made a mistake in my previous reply in the html code. Sorry.
I said you have to put the "Icon.ico" at the root of your website. It's true but I don't give you the correct html code.

You have to write

<link rel="Shortcut Icon" type="image/ico" href="/favicon.ico" />
or end with: href="favicon.ico" />

Re: Short Cut Icon

Another way to call your icon, implemented in W3C standards:
html Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. <head profile="http://www.w3.org/2005/10/profile"> <!-- Must be implemented if you are using any icon inside your (x)HTML document. -->
  2. <title>Your Site</title>
  3. <link rel="icon" type="image/ico" href="pathToIcon/yourfavicon.ico" />
