(Favicon.ico) Icon appears in address bar but not notebook tab (favicon.ico)

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?

Thanks

A PNG or GIF file should also work.

Full tag is:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/url/to/file">

What's the notebook? :-?

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'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...

I'm trying to create a favicon which I've done before, and it just won't show up. I've even saved the file as a gif and entered the URL of where the file is according to my FTP program, and I get a File Cannot Be Found error. I've copied the pixels from the file and pasted them into a favicon that is working and showing up, renamed it by just adding a number to the end, and still it won't show up, either as an .ico or a .gif. So I've...

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...
