 Hi,
I want a picture as a favicon on my website. I followed all the steps which are necessary for creating a favicon (16X16, ico extension etc.) using photoshop but I am not able to see it on the browsers, both IE (i am using IE8) and Firefox on my local machine.
My question is: cant we see favicon on local machine? can be seen when hosted on server!!. or is there anyother reason why i am not able to see it on the browser? I tried below lines of code 
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" >

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

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favi.ico"/>

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/favicon" href="http://localhost:58473/favicon.ico"/>
...

Go to the complete details ...
