the troubles with favicons

Posted by Emergence on 08/06/07 17:55

Opera and FF typically will work when this issue arises but will not
work within IE a lot of the times. Now lets for example start with
something simple to which I will be using my site as an example as I
normally do :o)
we have a favicon thats is somewhere in the head
<link rel="icon" href="http://joshknutson.net/images/icons/
favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />'

This will not show up in IE but will show up in other browsers, so I
then check Microsoft sites to see how they do it.
My results:
<link rel="icon" href="/s/wlflag.ico" /> from live.com
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="http://hp.msn.com/global/c/hpv10/
favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> from msn.com
Now what could be the difference between what didn't work for me, but
will work somehow for Microsoft. After fooling around this is what I
tried

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://joshknutson.net/images/icons/
favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
which works for some unexplainable reason unless I am just caching the
results of playing around with it a few different times, this was
tested within IE7 and seemed to have worked for me.
If need be check out http://joshknutson.net/index.cfm to let me know
if this doesn't work with ie6 and such
