IE6 No More

Something I stumbled on earlier, thought some of the web dev types here may be interested in it.

We stopped developing for 6 when 8 came out of beta. We maintain the policy that if a client or a visitor to a client's site complains that the website doesn't look quite right in IE6, we point them towards Windows Update.

bookmark this for old times sake;

javascript:(function(){var i=0,r=function(n){return Math.floor(Math.random()*n)},f=document.getElement sByTagName('body')[0].getElementsByTagName('*'),o=function(e){return typeof(e.style)=='object'&&e.tagName!='SCRIPT'},s=function(){while(!o(e=f[r(f.length)])){}return e.style};while(i++<5){s().display=r(2)?'block':'inline';s().position= r(2)?'absolute':'relative';s().margin=r(2)?'0':'1e m';s().padding=r(2)?'0':'1em';s().width=r(2)?'':'a uto';}})();

;D

IE6 is still our standard browser on site and is the only browser I *have* to make sure our intranet works with.

I'll be glad when it's gone though.

why hasn't there been an update yet? IE7 is 3 years old, I'd of thought that was plenty long enough to arrange system migration for a far better, yet still pretty crap, browser!

IT support are generally lazy types. If it ain't broke (regardless of how it really is), don't fix it.

this is true. and they have Admin, so use Firefox/chrome/opera anyway. ;D

We still have software that only works in IE6. Which means, not only do all our remote interviewing laptops globally have to use IE6, I still have to have a copy to test.

I did manage to get IE7 myself, but it took quite a bit of time and effort now that we are no longer admin users on our machines :(

I prefer IE6 to it's newer partners. Saying that, I only really use Chrome (or Safari on touch)

[AboveTheSalt]

IE7 isn't available on Windows 2000 . . . still, who cares, I use Firefox anyhow ;)

[A Place of Light]

<still uses IE6.

What's IE6?

Oh, that's that thing that non-Firefox users are stuck with.http://www.boomspeed.com/bofh1968/smilies/hahaha.gif
