    <p>I have "Googled" this quite a bit in the past hour.</p> <p>I am working on a new website, and I've never used favicons before (I always forget about them). So, the first place I looked was Google, and the first result that came up was this one:</p> <p><a href="http://www.w3.org/2005/10/howto-favicon" rel="nofollow">How To Add A Favicon To Your Site (W3.org)</a></p> <p>And after trying out the first two options, and re-uploading the files to the server I have found that neither of the snippets of code on that page listed above work for me. I have double-checked that all references to the favicon are correct and that all files are in the right places. I have even tried using a <em>.PNG file instead of an actual icon (</em>.ico), which I have seen in use on other sites.</p> <p>Then, I went back to Google and looked at a few more sites, and tried the code in those tutorials. It worked! Well, kind of... It worked in Flock web browser, FireFox, and Chrome. But it didn't work in Internet Explorer 9, 8, 7, or 6.</p> <p>I then came over here to S/O, and "View Source"'d the homepage and used their favicon code and that still didn't work!</p> <p>Here's the latest piece of code that I have now:</p> <pre><code>&lt;link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://mywebsite.com/favicon.ico"&gt; </code></pre> <p>What is the most reliable way of ensuring my Favicon displays in every browser?</p> <p><br /><br /></p> <h2>Updates</h2> <hr /> <ol> <li>Tried Bookmarking the page - Didn't work.</li> </ol>

    1. COdid you try bookmarking the site? some browsers only show the favicon on bookmarked sites. And is it EXACTLY 16x16 or 32x32?

    2. CO@cwolves: It is exactly 16 x 16px. No I didn't originally try to Bookmark the site as I didn't know that. But I just tried it after reading your comment and then I refreshed the page after bookmarking it. Didn't work.

    3. COMaybe a caching problem? FFox3 sometimes took a while to recognize a changed favico. Check if your server logs show a request for the icon is served.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
