Well I have made a favicon.ico. Uploaded it in the root of my website. Firefox does everthing like it should. It is shown in the adress bar, bookmarks and the tab's.

In MSIE 6.0 (that's what I use here) it doesn't work. So with some google-ing they said that if you put this line in the head of you page:

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

then it should work, but only after you put the site in you favorites and visit it again.

Well again, I did that but still it's not working in IE. And I can't find any other solution. Does anybody know how to make this work, or did I do something wrong?

Thanx...

Try clearing your cache maybe?

it does work actually, but only if the visitor adds the site to their favourites, thats why its called a favicon
there is no way to fix this

edit: sry, u knew that already, i didnt really read your post very well

Note the fact that the favicon will only show up next to the favorited link. And on the favorited page. No where else.
Also, last i checked the <link rel="shortcut icon"> tag was to make FF compatable (although, i find it unneccessary).

You probably have some setting that's not allowing it on your computer. I wouldn't worry about it to much, IE rarely does much correctly. With any luck, IE 7 will change that.

I think there's nothing wrong with my settings because it does show a few favicons from other websites, like http://www.lipsum.com/ (but not all)... :S Weird...

With geocities you can't even upload .ico files.
