favicon not displaying in FF or chrome
I am redesigning a website for a client, and the favicon does not display in firefox or chrome, but does display in MSIE.
A current page of the new site is http://www.beadedanimals.net/test.asp
the favicon is called favicon.ico, is located in the root, and there are also two lines of code to identify it:
Any ideas why this does not appear and how to get it to appear?
Thank you.

Was there a different favicon before - like all things it is cached.
You don't need to specify the location as it will automatically be loaded from the root anyway.

Thank you for clarifying the situation. The bookmarks in both FF & Chrome display the favicon perfectly, so we are dealing with a browser design feature and not a programming error on my part. I have let my client know that the favicon just won't show up.
You're welcome. I would prefer that the favicon show in the address bar like it used to but FF and Chrome have decided otherwise. I just noticed that they are showing in the tab above the address bar.
Place the icon in the root directory of your site.
