Favicon help
I have been scavenging all over the place, but no luck. How do I set up a favicon on a local HTML document? I've tried all sorts of combos of the LINK element, but nothing happened yet. And yes, I'm using a .ICO, but it's in the same directory as the document (but I'm using rel="shortcut icon").

I think it has to be running on a server.

What if the favicon is hosted but the HTML isn't?

I don't think that would work either.

Re: Favicon help
Code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico" />
should work even unhosted

Ask me what I'm doing, wait an hour than roll a die, if it's 4-6, I'm playing Skyrim, if it's 1, I'm eating, if it's 2-3 I'm programming.

Re: Favicon help
Wikipedia suggests that the type attribute should possibly be "image/vnd.microsoft.icon"; but probably isn't necessary. 
I think you can use PNGs instead/as well, which should work in most browsers...
