Help IE6 die

No Comments »

Are we doing enough to help IE6 die?

As a long time developer of Internet servers, services and sites, I have spent a lot of time over the years fiddling with code to make things work on IE which worked lovely in other browsers without any modifications.

I think every developer has probably seen this graphic or one similar at some time or another.

The sad fact is that it is not getting any easier to create the high performance web 2.0 applications so they work in a web 0.5 browser.

Whilst some people have started petitions to get the government to move on from IE6 and other people are spending time and effort educating people they know who still use it, perhaps we can do more.

I have just implemented the Shockingly Big IE6 Warning plugin on my blogs. It is nothing new and has been around for some time now, however it is my little bit towards helping the world get over IE6. What are you doing for your bit?
