My website, www.rockclimbinghawaii.com will not display my favicon on my index page (or any page for that matter).

- The favicon is in the same folder as the index page.
- The favicon is named favicon.ico
- I have the following HTML in the first 5 lines of my index page to force the favicon to show up:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico">
<title>Hawaii's Rock Climbing Source</title>


I am using IE7 to view the page.

Suggestions as to why it wont show up?

Your code is right, the incorrect showing is a known bug in Internet explorer. you can do nothing to this bug.

Remove the "/" before favicon.ico, that should solve it. IE is sensitive with pathing.
Click to expand...

The slash simply signifies domain/ etc..
All I can see is that you forgot to close the tag.

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

IE has kicked back weird results when i put a slash in front of any of my paths. I knew what it meant, it's just one of those things worth trying.
