Hi there.
I thought I'd try the online favicon generator.
I've inserted it but it doesn't show in my browser.
I've checked that the favicon is on my site.
Any ideas folks? :confused:

<head>
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

</head>
<body>
<div align="center" class="container"><img src="Holding Page.jpg" alt="SL" width="1066" height="768" align="absmiddle" /></div>
</body>
</html>

You have this:

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico">

Please ensure that the highlighted is on the root directory of where you're running your script. If incase you're in a subdirectory, remove the "/" in the highlighted text above.

Hope that helps.

Thanks rangana.
Yes my favicon.ico is in the correct directory. I'm using /public_html
