Save a Dev!

I did say that I wasn’t going to bother with IE6 fixes on my new site. In fact, I was planning on insulting IE6 users with a special graphic overlay. I remembered however that this would include people like

a) 50% of our clients (guessing)
b) 66% of my family (my brother introduced me to firefox)
c) 30% of everybody (according to current stats)

So, that’s a lot. So, I spent the whole day (literally) fixing the site for 6 (argh) + 7 (which was admittedly easy). Anyway, for the IE6 users, I’m using a little script from this site:

It’s cool, it animates in a pretty image at the top of the page saying how you should upgrade and provides links to current/modern browsers. So, while not an affront to each users’ browsing sensibilities, it does provide a nice recommendation that is rather obvious.

  3. In case you missed it (he didn’t provide a link after all), Ben launched his new site design, and it’s pretty fucking pimp.
