favicon.ico not visible on IE 11 - html

I am trying to add icon to html page.
Following is the code,
<link rel="icon" href="../../images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"/>
Here I am trying to get favicon.ico from specific path.
This works on chrome but not on IE.
IE 11 version

Did you try this method:
<link rel="icon" href="url/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="url/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="ICON" type="image/x-icon" href="http://example.com/myicon.ico"/>
Try any of these and check whether It worked for you.

Check this out:
How do I force a favicon refresh
Basically, IE11 is fierce about caching the favicon. Adding a cache buster in the URL might fix it. Something like ../../images/favicon.ico?v=1.
Another user also suggested removing type="image/x-icon".

Favicon is not displaying in google chrome

I have a html site.The issue is favicon not working in chrome but it worked well in Firefox & Safari.
Anyone can help me to get rid of this issue?
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="images/ico"
href="http://www.example.com/images/favicon.ico" />
I was having exactly the same problem. Then I tried refreshing the page by doing Ctrl + Shift+ R. It worked!
Have a look at this question: Favicon not showing up in Google Chrome
1) Clear your cache. http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95582 And test another browser, lets say safari. How did you import the favicon?
2) How you should add it:
Normal favicon:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
PNG/GIF favicon:
<link rel="icon" type="image/gif" href="favicon.gif" />
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon.png" />
3) Another thing could be the problem that chrome can't display favicons, if it's local (not uploaded to a webserver).
Source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/16375622/1581725
<link rel = "shortcut icon" href = "test_image.ico" type = "image/x-icon" />
Also, if your icon is too small, double the size. That worked for me when I had this issue.

Favicon ico doesn't work

<link rel='shortcut icon' href='img/favicon.ico'>
The above line is inside head part of page.
favicon.ico is inside img folder.
Doesn't work in Firefox and Chrome.
I restarted browsers, cleared the cache many times...
Any suggestion.
I also tried:
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="img/favicon.ico">
You forgot to self-close the link tag.
I think it is recommended to use double quotes as well:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="img/favicon.ico"/>
If this doesn't work, have you tried to actually access the favicon image by typing the url like: http://example.org/img/favicon.ico to make sure it is reachable ?
Try using:
<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon"
href="image/favicon.ico"/>
without the "shortcut"
if that doesn't help, you might find something in this
Wikipedia article on favicon
If any of the other answers don't work, just put ! in front of the tag.

Favicon not working under google-chrome

i have a network based on php and html. Now i have the issue, that the favicon doesn't show up in google-chrome. If i use firefox all works well. Any advices?
My Code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://teabag.webclient2.de/minis/images/favicon.png" />
Website: http://teabag.webclient2.de/minis/
Thanks!
I just checked out your website and noticed you have <link> placed in the <body> tag.
It should be within the <head> of the document instead. In doing so, it will work.
Try this:
<link rel="icon" href="http://teabag.webclient2.de/minis/images/favicon.png" />
It worked for my icon :)
Try clearing your cache. Then add this:
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="http://teabag.webclient2.de/minis/images/favicon.png" />

favicon won't show up in chrome but show up in other browsers like IE, Firefox

I have the html:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/images/favicon_muse_me.ico">
on my website Muse Me (http://www.musememobile.com)
The favicon won't show up if I open it with Chrome. It shows up in other Browsers.
The favicon showed up before in Chrome but then I changed it.
What should I do to make it show up in Chrome?
Add the ICO file to the root directory as 'favicon.ico'.
Some browsers disregard the favicon metatag, and just look for /favicon.ico.
Chrome does not support animated favicons, and it doesn't look like anyone is interested in implementing it.

What about if you declare a "type" for your link? Also, you can try a rel of simply "icon" in addition.
Try this:
<link rel="icon" href="/images/favicon_muse_me.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/images/favicon_muse_me.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
You could also try appending the domain to the image src as well:
<link rel="icon" href="http://www.musememobile.com/images/favicon_muse_me.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.musememobile.com/images/favicon_muse_me.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
UPDATE
You could also try using a png for your favicon (obviously will need to have a png version to do this). This is the approach I take with my own site and it looks fine in Chrome:
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/images/favicon_muse_me.png" />
Make sure it's in <head> tag. It's kind of...'meta' info for the page.
<head>
<link href="//domain.com/favicon.png" rel="icon" type="image/x-icon">
</head>
I tried other options but this worked in Chrome for me
What I have been using is the URI, witch you can find out at https://websemantics.uk/tools/image-to-data-uri-converter and just put it in the atrabute href.
For example this is a valid URI a favicon

Favicon not showing in Chrome and IE8

Google Chrome and IE8/9 don't display my favicon. Here is my HTML code from the head tag:
<link rel="icon" href="images/favi.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favi.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
Can you please solve this issue?
Try this: <link rel="icon" type="image/ico" href="path_to_icon/favicon.ico"/>
put it in the root directory and it should work...
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico"> for more info, see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon
and you should better use the default name favicon.ico,
probably you have to clean your cache in your browser first...
