Re: Favicon not working, XHTML 1.1, Firefox 0.9.2

I know my browser (firefox) will do it because google's
works flawlessly and all they seem to be doing is jamming
the file in the root directory. The source in question is
http://web.utk.edu/~clucas/index.html. I'm writing in
XHTML 1.1. The header source I'm using is

link rel="icon"
href="http:/web.utk.edu/~clucas/favicon.png"
type="image/png"/

I got the idea to use a .png instead of a .ico from
mozilla. Can someone tell me what the heck I'm doing wrong
here?

Exactly that, I think.
Has to be an .ico afaik. Where does Mozilla tell you to use a
png? Got a link?

What happens if you stick the favicon.ico in the root dir
and leave out the <link> references all together?
Google doesn't use the <link> either btw. Just the
favicon.ico in the root dir.

Nope, still no luck. I looked around bugzilla and found a
bug that describes the behavior I'm observing i.e. the
first time I go to one of my pages favicon.ico loads and
displays fine but if I move to a new page or refresh, it
goes away never to return. I guess I'll wait till 1.0
because it sure seems to me like its not because of
anything I'm doing wrong. I mean how hard is it to stick an
ico in public_html? Its pretty hard to mess that up. Thanks
for the help.

Only one more thing I can think of: ~clucas is a subdirectory,
not really a root. The root would be http://web.utk.edu/
They don't have a favicon.ico, but if they did, you might see
that one instead of yours.
Not sure of this though. I don't know how these
subdirectories/subdomains are set up. Just an idea.
