But at least the Favicons worked! I gave Microsucks some time to fix the browser, and now I have installed it, but now the Favicons dont work at all! I get nothing, nothing from Yahoo, Google, or even a website I built for a customer "rimsnrocks.com" Witch I just used a pic of one the rims to make a nice favicon from! What bothers me is that I cannot find any help on the issue, when I put in the search "IE7 will not display favicons" all get is people who dont know how to set it up in there meta tags. Well who cares! I am not happy, it took several hours to get them to work in IE6, and I have unistalled IE7 and reinstaled it 3 times tonight, and in all cases when I opend IE6, the favicons showed up! Looks like im giving up on IE7 till they can get it right. There is more then one reason why I call Bill Gates Microsucks!

Those are the small icons that appear in Favorites or Bookmark lists or in the address field of your browser. Microsoft invented these icons but has presumably by now forgotten about trying to make them work in a standard way. You can make favicons work in Firefox but not reliably in Internet Explorer. Again it’s an obvious piece of Internet mechanics that suffers by lack of standards.

It was written in the fond hope that Internet Explorer Version 7, in trying to emulate Mozilla Firefox as it so often does, would perhaps make favicons a robust feature of Internet surfing. In Firefox, you’ll find these small 16 x 16 pixels icon images for a given web page appear in several places, namely the address window, on a tab and also in your Favorites or Bookmarks list. They provide instant recognition of a web site and for the ones I know well are all I display in my Bookmarks toolbar in my default Firefox browser. Here for example are the ones associated with this and related websites: [...] [...] A previous post, The Favicons Are Coming, provides a short introduction to favicons.
