My understanding is that IE in Windows will display the favicon only if the site
is bookmarked, and then the display is in the Favorites list, not the URL
field... the mere presence of the file as identified by Dan allows user agents
that simply look for it like Firefox and Camino and Safari and Opera to display
it (in the location bar), so it seems like the problem might have been with your
configuration or something, Ross... the by-the-book way to get a user agent to
retrieve the favicon (this is required for Mozilla Suite) is a <link rel="icon"
href="favicon.ico" /> in the <head> element (never mind the trailing slash if
you're using HTML).
