haku Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Does the favicon file exist in the subdomain directory? That's what you are linking to. If it does exist, then it's just IE being finicky. IE doesn't deal well with favicons - it doesn't like them being changed. IE6 is particularly bad, and IE7 isn't that great. Not sure about IE8 though - haven't played with it and favicons enough to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwolff2005 Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 hi haku thansk for your advice I found a tric. I had to literally open the faviconfile in IE and from then on it worked. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haku Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Heh, there you go. Finicky IE! I'll remember that trick though, I didn't know it. Makes sense though, as it probably overwrites its cache with the new image file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
