Change favicon icon depending on browser type

[mistral]

Does it possible change favicon icon depending on browser type:
display favicon.ico for Internet Explorer browsers, and favicon.gif
for the rest browsers? Problem is that ugly MSIE can display only .ICO
favicons, whereas other browsers support any favicon type - gif, png,
jpg. Since gif favicons has much better quality than ico file, I'm
wondering does it possible sort browsers with javascript and show
appropriate favicon type for specific browser?

Regards,
M.

I suppose you can do that serverside, not with a clientside script.

You mean change it with PHP?

No, not especially so.

Any serverside language,
so also serverside javascript [ = ASP-jscript].

You could return a stream depending on the reported user agent,
[not neccesarily the factual one].
