Favorite Icon in IE

favicon.ico

[T Suresh Babu]

Hai,

I created a favicon.ico file and put it in the website root folder.

When I bookmarked my site
<url in profile>
Then Whenever I opened my site that icon appeared in the browsers address bar.

But After restarting the m/c I could not get the favicon displayed on my browser's address bar.

Not only for my site, but also for other sites. What is the reason? any one knows?

How to tackle it.. Any code is there..?

favicons are stored in cache, so they go away if you clear your cache. m/c? Note we try not to post site url's, mentioning it is in your profile ok.

The favicon is surely one of the most squirrely features in IE. It seems that if you have an existing favorite from that site, it won't add it. As noted above, it doesn't persist when users clear their cached files. The other day, I had a favorite icon that had been gone for a month reappear - must have been on vacation. No idea what happened...

There is just about a encyclopedia of info about favicon on the board. Try the site search (top menu bar) on favicon for other reading...
