How do you allow a fav icon to show in all versions of IE? I have fav icons that has been inserted in the root and sub-directory within the website. It will display in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. However, it will not display in any versions of IE (I have test IE 8 and 9 with changing the environments between earlier versions using the compatibility feature). How do I make this work?
I am using this code in my html and tags:
<head>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.domain.com/icons/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="icon" href="http://www.domain.com/icons/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
</head>
I have research related questions on Stack Overflow as well as outside sources and they agree on the implementation used in my HTML. I am wondering what the problem could be.
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico" />
Your favicon.ico must be placed between head tag size : 16x16 + 32x32, colors: 256colors and 32-bit and for Internet Explorer it must be transparent (the outer white part should not visible)
