Hi. I make the favicon on my website. Naturally, on IE i have some trouble :)

why it doesnt work?

<link rel="icon" href="./img/iconcab.ico" />

Dunno. Any ideas? Thanks :)

A: 

Try specifying the type type="image/ico"

Does it work with other browser?

Is the path correct?

yes! it works with chrome, firefox, ecc... so the path it's correct. If i add type="image/ico" it doesnt change.

I remember dealing with favicons before and I'm pretty sure IE6 REQUIRES the icon file to be called favicon.ico and be placed in the root directory of your website (or at least in the same directory of the page you're trying to access). I may be remembering it wrong but it could be worth a try.

uhm no, i don't think so. Just watch (as random example) http://www.discogs.com/. You can see <link rel="icon" href="http://s.dsimg.com/images/record16.ico" /> , but it works (i can see that icon on IE6)
