Notas do Editor
- We all feel like this.
- Hacky, time consuming.
- Some of the many reasons it’s bad.
- It was the kingpin when big businesses were investing in computers.
- People are stuck with it b/c IT teams won’t let them upgrade or their computer is too old to run the newer browsers.
- Still has a lot of coverage. Some sites are seeing upwards of 25% of their traffic from IE6.
- North America stats
- WOrldwide stats
- How could it be true?
- Viget.com: 11% IE - of that, 18.5% ie 6
- Syr.edu: 58% IE - of that, 25% ie 6 - almost 15% of total visitors
- What should we do for client work? Is hacking for IE6 a waste of time?
- Bitch
- Play dirty
- Play even dirtier
- Be rude
- Seems childish.
- These guys are dropping support.
- Grab Andy’s stylesheets and serve up a stripped down site for IE6
- Provide education and tools to help users get off IE 6.
- So what should we do? Combined approach? Is it better to push forward with things like the stripped down site so people will notice that they are not having the best experience?
