    Hi,
    What is the best and easiest way to change the icon at the top of the page. It is set as an "e" for internet explorer unless you define otherwise.

    I tried putting a favicon.ico file in my root which someone said would work but it didn't.
    Can anyone a) point me towards some software to work with ico's and
    b) help me then put this .ico file at the top of my website by giving me the code or something.

    That would be great
    thanks in advance!

    I'm pretty sure it's IE that sometimes doesn't get the favicon when loading a site. As usual, I'll suggest the obvious solutions, in case you forgot to do it:
    --> did you press enter to reload the page to see if the favicon was there, or did you press refresh - you need to press refresh?
    --> did you make the favicon the right size, and format?
    --> did you try clearing your IE Cache and restarting the browser?

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. It turns out on some servers/browsers and extra piece of code is needed. Working great now.
    Thanks
