favicon in FFox 1.7

[BT]

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?

Most recent version of Firefox is 2.0

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.ic o" not enough?

Wel, depending on the path, "/favicon.ico" != "favicon.ico".. . I usually
use pseudo-dirs for browsing (for instance
http://example.com/page/sub/subsub/), and to keep the HTML in the top
mostly the same "/favicon.ico" would be preferred, as it points to the
root.

If the icon is in the same directory (folder) as the Web page, the /
should be omitted (but is permitted).

You should have <LINKfor both "icon" and "shortcut icon", but I can
never remember which does what. Notice that, if you have the <LINK>
elements in your HTML, you can name the icon file whatever you want.
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="DR.ICO" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="icon" href="DR.ICO" type="image/x-icon">
Of course, the files must be valid icons with .ico extensions. This
allows me to have different icons for different pages, reflecting their
topics. For a discussion of this, see my
<http://www.rossde.com/internet/web_design.html and scroll down about
half-way to "Icons".

If you don't have the explicit <LINKelements , then the icons must
indeed be favicon.ico. Even then, whether they are displayed depends on
the Web server.

Thanks for the input.

Here is the website: crhschoir.org

The favicon is located in the same (root?) dirtectory as the index.html and
it does show up in the address window, but is missing only from the tab in
FireFox. BTW, it also shows up in the favorites/bookmarks in IE & FireFox.

I'll start trying some of these ideas, but feel free to post any other
comments. It sure is peculiar that it shows up in some places, but is
missing from the tab.

thanks again

It shows on the tab of:
FireFox 1.0.0.7
FireFox 2.0.0.1
Opera 9.10

Since, as already mentioned, version 1.7 is probably the *Mozilla* suite
browser, and not Firefox. However, using Firefox 1.5.0.9, I see your
icon in both the location bar, and the tab.

I also see it both places in Mozilla 1.7.12, in Opera, and in SeaMonkey.
I'm not going to try IE6 because the site must be bookmarked for
favicons to be used.

Although Firefox does display your icon, the Page Information tells me:

"The image ´http://crhschoir.org/favicon.ico¡ cannot be displayed,
because it contains errors."
