So, I am trying to put a favicon on my site at http://atomicdingo.com. The favicon is located at http://atomicdingo.com/favicon.ico. Now, I have a problem, if I go to my site, the favicon doesn't appear and if I go to http://atomicdingo.com/favicon.ico, it tries to download the favicon.

What could be causing this?

I am open your site in IE8 and favicon is OK. I didn't get any download menu.
1. What browser cause this problem?
2. I didn't see link to favicon in the head part of page source. Try to put this link in the head part:
Code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />

I'm opening it on Firefox 3.5.

The problem is that its not appearing beside the title of the page up at the top of the browser like it is supposed to. If I use
Code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />
, it works right, but when I try to just put it in the root directory of my site like a lot of my sites do, it just doesn't work.

Today, I tried it again and the favicon is suddenly working on all pages. I think it might have been that the browser has never seen a favicon so it didn't have it cached and didn't look for one, but after my computer was restarted, it sees it now.

I guess it was just being weird...

Thanks anyways,

This is small icon what you can see in all modern browser in the url bar instead of "e" in Internet Eplorer, empty paper in Firefox, etc. Some browser show favicon in tabulators, too.

To add to the discussion - I've noticed that when I put a favicon on a site I have to clear out the cache and start over again, otherwise the pages are pulled straight from the history and don't read the code properly.

In Firefox just hit "Tools>Clear Recent History" and clear out the site you're working on and it should work fine.

The favicon is the little icon next to the title in the bar at the top of the screen. For this page it's a little stylized blue F.

Try this

Code:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="./graphics/favicon2.gif" type="image/x-icon" />


If that doesn't work, then you should try this

Code:

<link rel="icon" href="./graphics/favicon2.gif" type="image/x-icon" />
