I've quit supporting IE6 since March. Every site I create/design now has a warning for IE6 and will block them from visiting the site. I use a lot of CSS3 and HTML5, and I won't use a lot of hacks for 1 browser. I only support the latest versions of browsers, so for Opera (which I use) I only support 10.60, Safari 5 and so on. I let my sites degrade - you should reward those that use new products, not the ones who use crap.

And a lot of those users still on IE6 probably use an illegal version of Windows.
I used to use this account, but no longer.

Peekay,

I don't think anyone's necessarily saying that users shouldn't be able to see the site if they use IE6, I think the point is just as ghia states...

In general they will be able to see all the infoermation but badly presented.


I prefer using the small javascript from browser-update.org
<script type="text/javascript"> 
var $buoop = {} 
$buoop.ol = window.onload; 
window.onload=function(){ 
 if ($buoop.ol) $buoop.ol(); 
 var e = document.createElement("script"); 
 e.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript"); 
 e.setAttribute("src", "http://browser-update.org/update.js"); 
 document.body.appendChild(e); 
} 
</script>

This continues to let them use the site but just puts up a single line message at the top that let's them know they should really consider upgrading.
