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

[Patrick Olurotimi Ige]

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.ico">

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
