Favicons

**Spinny** · 22 April 2010, 01:00 PM

I've often had the problem where IE (various versions) simply doesn't show a favicon at first, then at some point it finally decides to appear. It makes no sense, but there it is. Maybe clearing cache would help? Dunno, that's always been a mystery to me.

Marcia did you download the latest IE8 or simply reinstall the file you had previously downloaded?

Spinny, I did clear the cache. Maybe it turns up in a few days...
Bill, I downloaded the latest IE8.

If everybody else can see the favicon in IE8 I don't care if I don't see it. It's the client who's important. I'll call her and ask if she can see the favicon.

I don't get it though...

I've also noticed this behaviour but for me it's not a big deal. It always seems to show up.

I believe you have done all things right! I see it!

Thanks for all your trouble helping me out.
I guess I've just to wait a few days longer..

Btw before the birth of WD, I created my websites in Dreamweaver and the favicon allways showed in IE8, allthough sometimes after one day.

It's working here too.

When I had this problem, I had to delete the site from my favorites, clear cache, and even manually delete all items for the site from the temp folder.

IE8 doesn't do a great job of cleaning up the cache.
