I just fix a missing favicon problem in IE7 for my work few day ago, i would like to share how i fixed it after trying a few different solution. so the original code that i have on the site is

since i using firefox as my major development browser and this code display the favicon perfectly ok on firefox , i thought this is the correct way to using it ( ya i know by right i should check this againts cross browser ) until the users file a bug on this , the favicon is not showing on IE 7.

after some research on the web and doing some testing on the site , finally i found the solution , there are 2 thing i have miss out

IE7 have a bug to recognize favicon on relative path, that why the path for the icon must be aboslute path , which mean the ico image file with full domain.
there is a need to declare the mime type for favicon , which is the type="image/x-icon".

after this you might still not seeing the favicon appear on your IE , you need to clear your cache first and reload the site, the first time be slightly slower but it should be display the favicon after a while. Below is the image what favicon is , in case some of the reader don’t know.

Yeah, to gain more browser market share, IE 7 now can be install without WGA , the full story is here

simple to say if you are using some unofficial edition of windows, now you install IE 7, because there will be no checking. Base on my understand this really work, you can just download and install.

i agreed this is one of the smart way to market, but it should done by begining of the release , now most people already use to other browser already.
