Why is my icon for browser tab not showing up?

I want to make a favicon for my web page. I found a sample but it's not working for me. Can someone please help me get it to work. On the index page of the web site I put this in the of the page.

 <!--
 <![if !IE>
  <link rel="icon" href="http://mywebsiteurl/images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
 <![endif]>
 <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://mywebsiteurl/images/favicon.ico" type="image/ico" />
 !-->

Can I put this on specific pages that I want to display the favicon or does it have to be somewhere at the root of the site?

If you can think of any solution I would really appreciate it. Thanks for any help!
