Icons VS 2003

Guest

I am trying to add an icon to the URL using VS 2003. Its quite easy to do in
VS 2005 with this line of code in the <HEAD> section of the markup...

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="icoMRF3.ico" type="image/x-icon">

But this doesnt work in VS 2003. Whats the equivalent code for 2003?

The code shouldn't actually matter for either of them as it's the web
browser that you need to worry about. One thing to keep in mind though, with
IE 6 or lower, IE will only display the favorite icon in the address bar if
the page in question is located in your browser's favorites. In addition,
the history and local files can't have been cleaned out after the page is
added to the favorites. In other words, the code probably works just fine,
you're just running into the limitations of IE and favorite icons. IE 7 does
appear to have fiexed this issue.

This statement is for the client, it should work whatever server-side
component you use. Check the HTML code (using view-source in the
browser) to see what is produced, it should help you to find where the
problem comes from.

HTH,
