This is a personal plea to all Xoops developers, coders and designers, I would like to ask if you would stop developing for this terrible browser, to stop trying to make things that are so broken with it to work by creating hacks, css fixes and other general things that take up more time that could have been spent on more deserving things.
That damn browser is old, out of date and totally useless and yet I still see people pampering to the needs of Microsoft and their unwillingness to actually design a browser that adheres to the standards, like most of the other browser. (Yet IE v9 apparently seems to be heading that way).
Yes I know that there are people that still use this browser and I cannot for the life of me understand why in this day and age with all the other browsers available to download FREE, we are still in the positions to cater for them?
Most of you wouldn't even drive a car that old, so why develop for a browser that old?
It is time to move on, just like we need to move on from PHP 4 and move to PHP 5.
So I say please, stop developing for it, make people aware you won't be developing for it any more and if possible point them in the right direction to a browser that will work properly.
Alternatives to IESave the DevelopersGermany says No!! Follow their Example!!Add code to tell your users to upgrade to a new browserBrowser StatisticsInformation to think about..
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/11/IE6 was released in 2001, it's last feature update release was SP2 in August 2004. The current revisions of this browser are now over six years old! In the technology world four years is 2.6 life times! (A lifetime is roughly 18 months, based from Moore's law) IE6 suffers many bugs in terms of Display, Security and Standards Compliance.
