I've got problems when trying to show loading favicon.
I'm taking facebook as example. When you do go to facebook homepage and then click "Messages", it does change favicon (as reloading/redirecting), but page is still same. How do they do that?
I solved my favicon problem - simple iframe
<body>
<iframe id="frameFix" src="something.php" name="frameFix" height="0" width="0".
border="0" ></iframe>
<a href="new.php" target="frameFix">new thing (page will start to "load")</a>
