Favicon.ico not working

[Rabel]

Hi I have a site that I am trying to get the small icon in the address
bar to work I am using the code

<LINK rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="http://www.myaddress.com/favicon.ico">

Now it does appear in firefox but when I add to favorites in ie it does
not. I tried linking to msn's icon(http://www.msn.com/favicon.ico) and
it did work when I added to favorites, so I dont know where this
problem is from my server or coding, or the image. Oh also when you go
to image by typing the absolute address
(http://www.myaddress.com/favicon.ico) only an x is there but if you
right click and go to show image it comes up, It is exactly 16 x 16 so
I dont know why that is. any help is greatly appreicated

If your .ico file is in the root of the domain, as it's in this case, you
can skip the LINK element altogether, it'll be done auto, the LINK is used
only when is NOT in the root, as for IE, no, is not your code, is IE way
of storing the .ico in the temp folders, it shows only and not always
once you bookmark it, does work nicely in all geckos/opera.

Im sorry Danny I dont understand what you are suggesting I do to fix
the problem, remove the link so theres no code but I would still like
it to be there on firefox and netscape. Would it still be? Thnaks for

It's not a JavaScript issue, is it? In response to your other message
(to Danny?) quote properly.
