internet explorer 9 not showing .png favicon

I have a favicon , favicon.png in directory - img/favicon/favicon.png

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="img/favicon/favicon.png" /> 
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="img/favicon/favicon.png" />

In chrome , firefox etc it shows correctly, in IE9 it doesnt show, where the favicon should be it shows the internet explorer logo. Is there any reason why IE9 is wont show the png?

Solution

  • The W3C method does not seem to agree with IE9:

    » W3C method here

    Not sure what's going on here. Can't get an icon to show up in IE9 regardless of method, and I've tried them all, emptied the cache, etc. Mainly responding to this thread to point out that the W3C method differs from what jacktheripper posted in February.
