Help kill Internet Explorer 6

Filed under: Technology — Kamel Al-Asmar @ 5:04 pm

Done21 is trying to help us to get rid of Internet Explorer 6 and all of its problems. They are providing a JavaScript code to simulate an IE yellow notice bar which prompts users to upgrade to IE8 (the latest version of Microsoft Internet Explorer) . A while after Justin Hileman has edited the code to encourage users to download Firefox and use it instead of IE.

I hope that this will help us to be able to work as web developers without thinking of IE6 as the bottle nick that always comes to our ways.

  2. Faking it doesn’t help, lying to users to convince them to upgrade isn’t the way to go.
    And installing firefox isn’t going to rid users of damn IE6, it’ll still be there with all it’s ugly crap. I think IE8 upgrade might be the way to go to really replace IE6

  3. why not just disable site access for IE < 7 (or 8) :-D .. just showing a bar won’t convince people who have not upgraded already
