Put this line into the header of your HTML-document:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
(with the path to your favicon.ico)
This should help with most browsers.

| Have you tried cleaning out the browsers' cache?
Note: a downside of favicons is that they do not work reliably.

| If you have the page in your favorites folder, you need to delete that too.

| Favicons are flakey, at best. For example, I have one on my personal site
and I can't get IE 6.0 to use it, even if I get rid of any bookmarks I have
to the site, clear the cache, and reboot as is often recommended. Other
people have no problem seeing it. The bottom line is, make one, put it in
there, make sure someone somewhere can see it, then don't worry about it. If
people see it, good. If they don't, so be it.
(BTW, his advice was to make sure you have no other bookmarks to the site,
then clear your browser cache, then reboot IE, then bookmark it and maybe
you'll see it)

To be a bit more accurate, Internet Explorer's handling of favicons is
flaky, at best.

Yes. All of the Macintosh browsers which now display them (not IE5,
ironically) have no problems with them, except for Safari which insists
on keeping hold of an old version for months after a new one has been
created. I found a free "manage Safari favicon" program and fixed that.
They also behave a bit oddly in all of the Mac browsers in
<gasp>framesets</gasp>

Really? I've never had any problems with any of the Gecko browsers, or
Opera either.

| As with IE, sometimes I have to clear the cache and delete the history
before it will pick up a new favicon. Probably has to do with info from a
page still being in cache.

This could be your problem:
http://localhost/forum/home.html/slogo.ico
?? localhost... you should be using something like this:
HREF="http://www.dreamweaverresources.com/favicon.ico
upload the favicon to the root of your site and link to it..

| HI
I want to check it with IIS on my computer.""""I don't get account from some servers yet that they gave me root"""
How i can test it in my computer?

| To be honest with your, I'm not 100% sure that it can work locally - I've
never tried it, but if it isn't working for you, then I'd suggest it doesn't
work locally :-)
As long as you have the link pointing to the fully url location of the
favicon when you upload, it should then work. Best answer I can give you
for now.

| usually works fine on my local test sites (apache with virtual hosts) i
don't even put the link in the html - just dump the icon in the root.
i use firebird all the time and that forgets all the favicons in my
bookmark list. occasionally they comeback, but they don't stay long.
