I have successfully added a favicon to my website at www.richardfisher.com
However, Netscape and Internet Explorer show it on all pagese while
Mozilla only shows it on my index page. This is because the
statement <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico"> should to
be on all pages.

I do not want to alter all of my pages. Is there a statement I can
put in my CSS instead?

 

[Mark Fitzpatrick]

Unfortunately, no. This is the standard way to get the favorite icon to
appear.

Why don't you just put the favicon.ico in the root of the web?

As Tom said, I place the favicon.ico in the root folder of the web, and
do not place any <link... tags in the pages. The icon appears in the
address bar in all browsers for every page.

Ron: Some folks have reported that using the links doesn't actually work in
all browsers.

I don't use the <link rel="shortcut icon".... and the favicon shows in
every browser I have, on every page.
IE5.5, IE6, IE7, NN4.71, NN6,7,8, Opera 7,8,9, Konqueror on Linux (Red
Hat 7), Mozilla 1.3 on Linux
I don't have a MAC so cannot try any browsers there.

AFAIK the only reason for using the <link rel... tag is if the icon is
not in the root folder, which happens when the site is hosted by some
ISPs (as opposed to a dedicated host).
