Is there a reason why a favicon.ico is not showing in Safari 5.1 on Mac? It shows on every other browser I have tested except the above mentioned one. In Safari on Windows it shows.

I've declared it like this:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.mysite.com/favicon.ico" />

  • Have you fixed it already? The favicon loads fine for me.

Assuming that Safari on Mac is showing favicons for other websites (try any stackexchange website), you probably need to clear the browser cache.

Also, try adding a random number (using JS or Server-script like PHP) to your favicon reference, like below:

EDIT- Also, add type attribute and try again? (see below)

<!-- FAVICON -->
        <link 
        rel = "shortcut icon" 
        type = "image/x-icon" 
        href = "http://www.dixitsolutions.com/favicon.ico?23189123" />

  • Clearing the cache was the first thing I did. It still doesn't work.
