Internet Explorer 6 is holding back the future.
IE6 is the bane of every web developer's life. Released in 2001, IE6 fails to even properly support the CSS 1.0 standard from 1996.
Supporting IE6 prevents us from using cool new features, standard with up to date browsers. This erodes user-experience for everyone. Additionally, the hacks and workarounds that web designers are forced to use degrades their code, and this limits progress in other areas. Above all it's simply a waste of millions of hours of human potential.
Please help us to free the web from IE6

Are you using jquery? and ifixpng() ? It disabled my usemap in IE6. So now I replaced the png for a gif; no more ifixpng() and it works! >>

@maadonna There's a hacked IE6 on evolt.org (in the browser archive). make sure you don't have other IEs running at the same time. >>

@cp21yos IE6 support is an interesting point. You looking at billing for it specifically or offering graduated support - render readable? >>

Acho que agora resolvi o problema do CSS do blog para IE6. Mas fica um aviso em amarelo grande informando sobre o navegador antigo. >>

@maadonna I use Virtual PC with a XP IE6 virtual OS downloaded from Microsoft. Works great but IE6 testing isn't worth the time IMHO. >>

@maadonna We use VirtualBox on Macs to emulate a PC with IE6: http://www.virtualbox.org/ >>
Please help us make the internet a better place:
- make sure your browser is up to date
- help others to get up to date
- if you are a web designer, stop supporting IE6
- spread the word: Boycott IE6
