RE: Favicon best practice

[Ian Marshall <Ia...@GMail.com>]

Thanks Jeffrey,

I put my favicon.ico where you suggested and made this my sole favicon file.
I did keep

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

in the HTML of my base page in the hope that Microsoft will make Internet
Explorer 8 or above able to read the favicon in the future.

Mozilla Firefox 12.0 reads this fine. I see that IE8 may require an href
starting "http://www." for it to show the favicon. If so, to this
requirement I shall not bow.
