Address bar LOGO not working

  • I'm working on getting my logo in the address bar of the site, and for some reason it isn't working correctly. I have tried linking it direclty (through the web - http://www.knowonder.com/favicon.ico) or through my files (../favicon.ico) and I've uploaded the pages and the icon a few times, and it's still not working properly

    When you go to http://knowonder.com/index.php you will see it working (or at least most of the time - weird)...

    If you go to http://www.knowonder.com/index.php it doesn't work.

    Here's the code:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd\">
    <html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=UTF-8\" />
    <title>Knowonder - Home</title>
    <link href=\"stylesheets/style.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" />
    <link href=\"http://www.knowonder.com/favicon.ico\" rel=\"shortcut icon\" />
    </head>
    <body>


    Please help me figure this out - it's REALLY frustrating me. I learned how to do this from:

    http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/ but what they (and other websites) say to do isn't working. Anyway, hope to figure it out soon!
  • Seems to be working perfectly in FF3, Safari 4 and IE 7 for me. Where are you seeing the problem?

    Also, you have some padding and/or margin issues in IE7, and you also have some much bigger issues in IE6 (rounded corners, margin/padding, "free monthly magazine" button is misaligned, etc).
  • Well, yet again, my new-ness astounds me :) I'm using Firefox 3, but it isn't showing up, even after I clear my browser history. I am sure I have at least a few issues in IE - I always do, and I ask people for help with it, but nobody has answered me yet on what you can do to specifically make CSS better for IE to not have so many issues. Anyway, let me know any good information you can.
  • Any advice?
  • Empty your browsers cache.
