Do my web sites Favicons
Favicons only work on servers for some reason. I have only been able to get mine to work in Safari but i want to know what browsers my Favicons are working in. I have inserted code for this feature only on the home page so only look to c if its there on the home page. If you look at other pages there will be no favicons because it hasnt been put in yet.
A favicon for those who dont know is the logo to the left of the url my logo i sblack with aqua letters "MFP". I will be interested to c the results.

It shows up in both Phoenix and Mozilla for the PC. Does not appear in IE 6.

Works fine in Mozilla 1.2.1 on OS X. Your code looks fine and your server is sending the favicon as "image/x-icon" as it should. I'm not sure if it's necessary or not, but you may want to add the type to the end of the tag, like this:
Code:
<link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
Altivec, did you bookmark the page in IE 6? Otherwise I don't think the favicon will show up (IE is rather brain-dead that way...).
By the way, you can change the link for your HTML 4.01 icon to automagically validate the page.

Favicons also work in OS X favorite Chimera, and would presumably work in whatever Netscape's calling their browser these days.

Anyone know why XHTML doesnt except percentages in table columns. ALhtouh it does accept numbers weird isnt it 
This is why i switched back to HTML 401/css because XHTML isnt quite ready for prime time. I cant stand having errors on my pages. BBEdit is the best program for web development in my opinion because it allows true freedom.
I am curious to know how many browsers support CSS2
