FAVICON not showing up in IE only FF

**CircleOfLinks** · 10:43 AM

Hey guys need your help with something. I can't get the favicon to show up using IE7, not sure if this is happening with other versions on IE, it does work in FF thoe.
I have the following code between the <head> section of the site

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" >

the favicon.ico is in the root directory and names correct and also is the write format. For some reason not showing up in IE, heaps of other website's favicon.ico shows up in IE except for my site does anyone know why or if any one has seen the problem before?
Its happening for my site www.SwiftProductions.com.au
thanks heaps

Try using the code below. I use it on my site and it works great.

Code:

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

this is not related to your question but to the OP, i just wanted to point out that your signature looks like "Directory" is spelled wrong.
