An example of the problem->

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. navigate to website www.google.com
2. search openwebkitsharp and open this website from the google results
3. FaviconAvailable() event will be triggered but favicon does not change 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Favicon should change to the openwebkitsharp's favicon

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest version, windows 7 (32bit)

Please provide any additional information below.

This is a problem with every website. If i switch to a link to other website, 
favicon doesn't change.
I hope the info provided is clear.

Thanx..

Thanks for the issue report. Actually, FaviconAvailable is fired every time a 
Favicon is available, when there is not favicon it is not fired. Are there 
specific sites where the favicon is not loaded while in other browsers it is 
loaded correctly?

I probably think the FaviconAvailable event takes favicon of the host website.
As in this website, host is google, thus favicon of google is taken. 
Similarly it happens for other websites too..

Yes, that's how it takes the favicon...but maybe I should change the method to 
a kind of element checking. Thanks for this report! I will try to improve it.

I recently observed that some websites have bitmap or GIF images as their 
favicon. However, ows only recognize ico favicons
Eg.
http://www.ktclear.in/kt/tech/tech.index.php?tech_id=Amazing+facts+about+Google

Here, FaviconAvailable event is triggered but favicon changes to a null image..

Any way to overcome this limitation???

well, you have to modify the ows source code for overcome it
go to favicon method for that (i forgot what method it is) 
and replace with your own :)
