Greenguy's Board - View Single Post - Can someone give me the lowdown on favicons

LD · 2009-01-28, 10:37 AM

I created a favicon.ico file using one of the online favicon generators, placed it in the root of my site, and added this line of code to my pages:

Code:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

On one computer running XP, it shows up in Firefox, but not in IE7. On my laptop running Vista, I get the opposite...shows up in IE7 but not Firefox.

I've tried clearing cache, and most of the obvious things, but I'm up against a brick wall. Any "Favicons for Dummies" type tutorials out there?
