Problem with Favicon

[Mika Stenberg]

I cant get my IE6 to show any favicons next to URL. Wonder what is wrong?
Mozilla does it ok.

IIRC, IE never uses a favicon in the address bar, only on the "favorites"
menu when the page is bookmarked. And then it disappears when the visitor
clears history and Temporary Internet Files.

You haven't bookmarked the page.

You're using IE.

Yes, it's a bug (shock, horror!) - it won't show until you bookmark it.

It will also appear in the address bar on visits after you have
bookmarked the page. But as you suggested, it can be erratic.

Because IE can be so flakey, it is probably better to confirm that the
icon is up and working using Mozilla or another browser.

I find that that is the best way to go for any testing - test on Mozilla
(or _something_ other than IE), and then check in IE once it looks right.
