I had that problem with Joomla. They tend to bury their favicon calls in the script. I ended up putting my favicon in every directory until it finally showed up... but if you use the correct html tags, that shouldn't be necessary on a regular page.

What are you putting in the < head > tags of your html page?

Just search these forums for "favicon." There are a bunch of threads that discuss how to use them.

always bookmark your page, especially in Safari, otherwise favicon won't show.

Yeah, Firefox shows the favicon in the address bar and, if you use tabbed browsing, on each of the tabs as well.

IE7 behaves much like Firefox when it comes to the favicons, unlike IE6, in which they pretty much didn't work at all.

;)

This is what I put in my coding:

<head><link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.dasoninc.com/favicon.ico" mce_href="http://www.dasoninc.com/favicon.ico"/></head>

I also uploaded the facon into the /public_html on bluehost. I have uploaded it in several other folders also.

I still cannot get it to show.

I used Axialis Icon Workshop 6.11 to create my favicon then I saved it in my dreamweaver images folder as favicon.ico.

I followed the tutorial on http://www.clickfire.com/favicon-tutorial/
Seems like I have done everything needed, but I cannot figure out why it will not show up. Do you have any suggestions? :)

I am having the same problem. How did you get your favicon to show?

Provided that you create a valid favicon and save it to public_html with the name favicon.ico - it will then show up everywhere it is supposed to for everyone who doesn't have a cached copy of your prior favicon. Generally the person who has the most difficulty getting a new favicon to show in their browser is the site owner as they are the person most likely to have a cached copy of a prior icon.
