I'm have a problem showing a favicon in ver 1.7.10. It shows up correctly
in the address bar, but is missing from the tab. I've tried each of these
HTML 'statements' to add the favicon to the page, but no luck:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" >

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

FWIW, it seems to render OK in IE v6.0. I haven't tried it in FFox 2.0 yet,
but I'll need it to work there also.


Thanks - I appreciate any help

Here's what i have in my web pages:

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

Works in all the firefox that I can remember, I'm currently using
1.5.0.9. I'm note familiar with 1.7, are you refering to Mozilla?

If the favicon is located at /favicon.ico, then it should be loaded even
without a LINK. An explicit LINK is only needed, if the file is in a
non-standard location.
Perhaps the file itself is broken somehow, but without an URL we cannot
tell.

P.S.: if your document is HTML, then use <link ...>, if you use XHTML it
must be <link ... />. Don't use XHTML syntax in HTML documents and vice
versa.

Do we need the slash "/favicon.ico"? Is "favicon.ico" not enough?
