I have successfully added a favicon to my website at www.richardfisher.com
However, Netscape and Internet Explorer show it on all pagese while
Mozilla only shows it on my index page. This is because the
statement <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico"> should to
be on all pages.

I do not want to alter all of my pages. Is there a statement I can
put in my CSS instead?
 
Unfortunately, no. This is the standard way to get the favorite icon to
appear.
 
Why don't you just put the favicon.ico in the root of the web?

As Tom said, I place the favicon.ico in the root folder of the web, and
do not place any <link... tags in the pages. The icon appears in the
address bar in all browsers for every page.
 
Ron: Some folks have reported that using the links doesn't actually work in
all browsers.

I don't use the <link rel="shortcut icon".... and the favicon shows in
every browser I have, on every page.
IE5.5, IE6, IE7, NN4.71, NN6,7,8, Opera 7,8,9, Konqueror on Linux (Red
Hat 7), Mozilla 1.3 on Linux
I don't have a MAC so cannot try any browsers there.

AFAIK the only reason for using the <link rel... tag is if the icon is
not in the root folder, which happens when the site is hosted by some
ISPs (as opposed to a dedicated host).
