I can help you...

You must cruate *.ico file with proportions 16*16 px
name of the file must be favicon.ico

and after that just copy this file to your server root dir...

Pejone forget about this:

<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="mypage.ico">

Place this between HEADER tag.
And once more it's work under IE 5.x Opera and NE (don't remember that version)
Not workin in IE 6

I did not forgot it. I just did not say about it. You can read about this at link that I have give you.

Code: Select all

<LINK REL="Shortcut Icon" HREF="http://www.domain.ru/..../icon_name.ico">

and this code need just in case if name of icon file is not favicon.ico.

What can be thoubles...

1) Wrogn format of the ico file...
in this I recoment use good ico editor for example AX Icons - I use it.

2) UnCopmleted configure of the server Apache...
in this case just create a .htaccess file with content
AddType image/x-icon .ico
and put it i the root dir..

3) Upload
You must upload this file at the server in the binary mode NOT ANSII...


P.S.
I find some some usefull links for you , but this is realy old and i dont know is there still aviable...
