title: Yet Another "Why isn't my Favicon showing?"
body: <h1>Update</h1>
  
  <p><hr/>
  I have just tried "Pinning" my site to the Taskbar again (after removing it) but when I clicked and held down the mouse button on the 16x16px icon inside the address bar (see pic below), you can see my favicon being dragged around with the mouse - so internet explorer has found and got the icon - it's just not displaying it in all the right places! Also updated code below:

  <hr/>
  
  <p>As the title suggests, I can't get my favicon to display; in any version of any browser. There is 1 exception, though - which isn't good enough:</p>
  
  <p>IE 9 and IE 10 -

  <p>As you can probably see in the screenshot above, the <em>only</em> time I get to see my favicon is after I've added it to my Favorites folder and opened the Favorites Bar. The favicon does <em>not</em> display in the Tab (next to the page title), it does not display in the Taskbar area, and it does not display up the top-left of the browser window if I have "Pinned" my site to the Taskbar.</p>
  
  <p>In every other browser, it simply does not display at all.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried every possible "solution" that I could find online.</p>
  
  <p>Here's the code I have:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="http://www.mysite.com/favicon.ico"&gt;&lt;!-- Major Browsers --&gt;
      &lt;!--[if IE]&gt;&lt;link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.mysite.com/favicon.ico"/&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;!-- Internet Explorer--&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have also tried all common sizes for the favicon; <code>16x16</code>, <code>32x32</code>, <code>64x64</code>, <code>128x128</code> and <code>256x256</code> - and I've even tried saving all sizes within the same <code>*.ico</code> file.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried deleting the cache file for <code>*.ico</code> files.</p>
  
  <p>Nothing has worked. The exact same code has previously worked on other sites that I've made. I don't get it. What gives?</p>
