Having favicon.ico instead of IE.ico on a website

I have an icon called favicon.ico that i created for a website and it
WORKS but u have to first bookmark the page
before u see the ICON in the URL instead of the IE icon!

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.i co">

But is it possible for users to see it without first Adding the page to
the favorites!!...
Any ideas..

It is not possible in Internet Explorer. Some other browsers do show the
shortcut icon in the address bar even if the page is not bookmarked (e.g.
Firefox).

Hope this helps

Hi there, If I use frames, should a reference to the favicon.ico (like: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="pictures/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">) be placed on _every page_, or is one reference in the index.htm (top-frame) enough. I'm asking this question because I had a reference in my top-frame only, wich seemed to work OK (the favicon showd in the adress-bar in all frames), but all of a sudden the favicon won't show anymore in the

I have a 16 color 16 x 16 pixel icon (favicon.ico); 4-bit palette. I have put the icon in the root directory of my web site, and I have also added the <link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" ... /> HTML tag in the document header section. The icon appears fine in FireFox's address bar, but refuses to show up in the notebook tab. The notebook continues to show the "blank document" generic icon. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this?

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...

Does it possible change favicon icon depending on browser type: display favicon.ico for Internet Explorer browsers, and favicon.gif for the rest browsers? Problem is that ugly MSIE can display only .ICO favicons, whereas other browsers support any favicon type - gif, png, jpg. Since gif favicons has much better quality than ico file, I'm wondering does it possible sort browsers with javascript and show appropriate favicon type for...
