It doesn't show up in Internet Explorer unles you first bookmark the page. However bookmarking in Firefox allows it to show up on every page.
Is there a piece of code or script that will put this icon in the address bar even if they haven't or don't bookmark the page?

I seem to recall that for ie you may have to add the code (below) in the <head> section of your pages.
For the others having the file on your site's root called favicon.ico is enough.
<link rel="icon" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
.. I might be wrong though ;)
You are correct, I have the code on every page of my site here is what is in there...
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">
A little different than your code, but I think this does the same thing. The actual graphic is in the main directory so it gets picked up easily.
However even having done all this you must still bookmark the page to have it show up. I was hoping to find a way to have the graphic show up to the first time visitor who has never bookmarked the page, but if they do it will also show up in their favorites folder as well. I am not sure if this is possible or not.
