Hi,

I want to use a favicon.ico in a perl-script. So when the perl-script is
called the icon appears in the address bar of the browser.
When I put <link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"> within
the outputted html, it doesn't work.

May be someone has suggestions ?

Thx,

Arjen

Stop using "lynx" as your browser?

If you're using IE you've got to remember that IE only uses favicons if
you actually make the page a favourite (ie it appears somewhere in the
Favorites menu). It'll be ignored otherwise.

Note this is for given versions of IE. I reserve the right not to go
figure out which versions

Thank you for your comments. I tried it with other browsers also and IE is
the only browser where it doesn't work I thouht that especially with IE
it should work...

But now I know it !

Thankls again,

unfortunately, it _is_ the major installed browser. plus, it has [at
least one of] the best DOM implementations, which does matter when
you're doing moderately trick DHTML/CSS.

If it hurts when you try to do that, maybe the answer would be to stop
doing it. SCNR.
