Rick,

Thanks for the response. The documentation I have read indicates you can
locate the file in a different location and then you have to indicate where
in the <link rel> statement. Because my domains are sharing a common root, I
can't have a unique favicon for each domain if they are located in the root.
So I placed the unique icon in each domain's subfolder within the root and
specify it in the <link rel> command. The <link rel> tag contains a custom
scoped variable to point to the proper location.

It appears some of the browsers are hard coded to find the icon in the root
directory ignoring the <link rel> tag.

Using IE 6.0 and the "Add Favorite" option, it locates the file properly.

Maybe I will have to live with it. I was thinking their might be a different
strategy to fix this. FYI: I am using IIS 6.0 on a Web Edition 2003 server.

Steve

Hi Steve,

I believe the correct reference is this:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
