IE7 is giving me a headache

Favicons work great in every other browser, but after a long pointless fight IE7 (www.ie7.com still makes me smile.) still refuses to view it. This is rather odd, since .ico file is a windows image file format to begin with.

I have this simple one liner in the header.php file, so there is not that much margin for error:

<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”http://www.venla.net/favicon.ico”/>

The latest Flock, Firefox, Opera and Safari are all happy with it. I have checked all the forums, but still can’t get it to work in IE7. Anyone, any ideas – I’ve started to think that ignoring IE7 might be a good general rule.

favicon display problem in IE7

Flock, Opera and IE7. One of them is wrong.

Tomb Raider: Underworld is released in the UK on 21 November. Time flies, it’s already 8th game in the Tomb Raider series, I haven’t bothered after the 3rd one, but I admit Lara was fun when she first appeared in what…1996! BBC is showcasing some pics of the new marketing face of Lara, and damn, she looks scary.

    Not sure if this is it, but could IE7 be strict about the space before the closing bracket? e.g.

    Good to see Venla.net live!

    Actually, ignore that – it works fine in IE7 here. Maybe it was just a cacheing thing at your end?
