My favicon is working in Firefox but not in IE7. Any suggestions?

A significant amount of work went into fixing the traditional problems with this feature for IE7. Hmm. Try this:

yehh thats the code im using. i dont know why it wont show up

I'm starting to think it's a bug or error, because other people are having the same exact problem that you're having. It's most likely a bug see:

yehh i think so too. it worked a few days ago iono whats wrong with it

Basically the IE adminsitrators and workers and trying to fix it so I guess it may be a while before it works again. IE7 has a lot of bugs at the moment.

Yea I use IE.7 too and I have the same problem.

^See, it's exactly like I said. There a bugs that the IE admins need to work out because I was reading this article and they said that 60% of people were complaining about the favicons not working and they're trying to develope a new fix for it so the favicons will work for everyone. It seems that IE7 is giving alot of people problems.

hmm well it started working now for some weird reason lol

The weird thing are, other websites like cb favicons work in IE.7 because I can see their favicon.

Personally, I'd add both the HTML tag and the favicon.ico at your site root. This was, iirc, how the favorite icons used to work: just copy the icon file to http://yoursite.com/favicon.ico and IE would see it.
