As per question, I was unable to display the favicon.ico on IE. (The project is deployed on Apache Tomcat 7.0 and tested on IE 10)
Note: I can only deploy the favicon.ico inside my project folder and no where else. Solution like "deploy at the ROOT directory" or "deploy on a web server" doesn't help for me.
I have declare the icon in my .jsp as following:
<link rel="icon" href="../images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" >
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="../images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" >
I have also try the following and it still won't work.
<link rel="icon" href="../images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="../images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="icon" href="../images/favicon.ico"/>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="../images/favicon.ico"/>
After browsing through some help, i saw some forum mention about using fiddler to determine whether the request was make and this is what i got:
# Result Protocol Host URL
41 302 HTTP 192.168.12.160:8080 /<project folder name>/images/favicon.ico
Would appreciate if any kind soul can help/advise on this... :)
Solve the problem which is due to some configuration in web.xml which block the favicon from being display.
