Favicon wont show up! Help?

My website, www.rockclimbinghawaii.com will not display my favicon on my index page (or any page for that matter).

- The favicon is in the same folder as the index page.
- The favicon is named favicon.ico
- I have the following HTML in the first 5 lines of my index page to force the favicon to show up:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico">
<title>Hawaii's Rock Climbing Source</title>

I am using IE7 to view the page.

Suggestions as to why it wont show up?

IE won't show favicons until the page is bookmarked. ....


... and
three chickens have been sacrificed and you have recited the "Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner" backwards whilst standing on your left leg.

That is certainly not true. I just visited three sites in 10 seconds that were not bookmarked and all the favicons showed up. Plus I have the site bookmarked anyway.

Nope, normal browsing in IE5, 6, 7, and 8. It does not show up in any of them.

I read some where and had experience that it takes a few days for it to be seen up there. Thats how it was for my site.

And like the others said clear your browsers cache.

Um, it's kind of hard to see on that screen shot, but from where I'm looking, it looks like you have named you icon ".co" rather than ".ico" - or maybe I just need new glasses!

put the <link> code inside the head section of the page, remove the / before the favico.ico

The code i always use is <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> and it works fine,

IE takes days to see the change as with firefox its instant!
