Okay, I give up. I've created a favicon for my site. It's a 16×16px, 4-bit image, created in Photoshop and saved as an .ico using the Telegraphics plugin.
It works fine in Mozilla, but it doesn't show up in Safari, or in Bloglines. I've tried a range of saving options, to no avail. Any suggestions?
Yes. Forget the ico format. Go back and save it as a PNG (Save for web...) and change the link in your html. :)
Just tried that. Still doesn't work, though the icon flashed briefly in the location bar. Bizarre.
Also, both the .ico and the .png versions work perfectly well in both browsers on my local server. Am thinking this may be server wonkiness. :/
Is your favicon supposed to be solid black? (IE6 WinXP)

Ahhh... hmmm... browser cache issues? I see your favicon in both Safari and Firefox here...
Eric, no, it's white and maroon.
Boris, that's encouraging. Tried flushing the cache in Safari, but it's still not showing up.
Feh.
Ah. I think it's working now, on all the browsers I have access to (including IE6/PC), using the PNG version.
Eric, I had to click on the default IE icon and "jiggle" it with my mouse to get it to finally appear.
I checked yours on Opera and Netscape 7.1. It works on my PC.
IE6 does not. I have been using Avant Browser (http://www.avantbrowser.com/)compatible with IE, I can see your favicon.
I have been using same favicon with two different file names (.gif and .ico) on my website to get it work.
Working fine here in OmniWeb 5.1 on Mac OS X.
In Safari (Panther) it sees to work on individual pages but not on the main page which hints at path problem maybe
It's showing up just fine for me in Safari, which implies to me that for those it isn't, it's because it's in Safari's icon cache... which is NOT the same as Safari's regular cache. If you want to clear your icon cache, take a look at Safari Icon Manager.
OK. Does it come with a magnifying glass for those of us OVER 35?? It is very very tiny, says Alice in Wonderland. Should I sip something to make it bigger?
I had the same problem with this site im workin on now... i deleted my icons cache and everything but nothing worked until i deleted the bookmark i had for it. maybe thats the key?
i dunno, worked for me tho...
good luck!
Safari 1.2.4 (v125.12)
