    Default Favicon on Firefox not on IE

    I can see the favicon on Firefox but not on IE.

    Would you please test it with your browser and tell me what you see?

    If you get the same result, do you have any clues why the favicon does not show up on IE?

    Thank you.

    Getting your favicon to work in IE is not as easy as Firefox. Tell me, what software did you use to create the .ico file? I am hedging my bets that you created a .bmp or a .png then renamed it to .ico?? If so then that will not work.

    Gimme 5 minutes and I'll download your favicon image, edit it and send it back in true .ico format.

    Right. I used Fireworks...

    Should I use one of those free favicon creating programs next time?

    Download this image and rename it to favicon.ico

    Then upload to your / root folder via FTP.

    Yoou'll then have to use this <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.saleyla.com/favicon.ico" >

    I know, but your login and sign up pages should really be secure. People don't like entering private information over an open network.... You should purchase a certificate, they're not too expensive and every e-commerce site should have one.

    How'd it go with the favicon?

    You are awesome. Thank you for posting it on your site.

    It works now on IE, only thing is that it looks really tiny.


    How did you create this one? What program did you use?


    Also, regarding ssl, I understand and agree. We need to implement it soon enough.
