Favorite icon is not displayed in IE 9 and 10

Question

I need to show a favorite icon while loading my html page. No problem with all browsers, except IE in displaying this icon. my code to display Favorite icon is:

<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="http://i.dell.com/images/global/branding/dellecomicon.ico">
<link rel="ICON" href="http://i.dell.com/images/global/branding/dellecomicon.ico">

Kindly help me to solve this issues.

Thanks in advance, Venil

I had this same problem, IE has a different code for some reason, put this under your existing code:

<link rel="icon" href="http://i.dell.com/images/global/branding/dellecomicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
