No IE6, please

Today I was checking stats from few of my places and is SCARY how many people still uses Internet Explorer 6. Yes I said SCARY. My no entender.

During the last month an average of 460 unique visitors uses IE6!
That’s a 15% of the total traffic of the site almost.

But now Web Masters and DEvelopers we have the power to turn the situation and make this different.

First I’m not longer checking my JS for IE6 either the CSS and second we have many resources to let know our visitors that they should upgrade.

For any HTML site I like this two solutions:

IE 6 Update
Maybe no so ethic but I thinks it actually rock’s.

To install it so easy! in your html before the c&p this:

<!--[if IE 6]>
<script type="text/javascript"> 
	/*Load jQuery if not already loaded*/ if(typeof jQuery == 'undefined'){ document.write("<script type="text/javascript"   src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></"+"script>"); var __noconflict = true; } 
	var IE6UPDATE_OPTIONS = {
		icons_path: "http://static.ie6update.com/hosted/ie6update/images/"
	}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.ie6update.com/hosted/ie6update/ie6update.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

For WordPress I use this one:

Shockingly Big IE6 Warning

Yes, We CAN!

    Awesome! Do you know how I can get the first update message in Portuguese?

  2. Chema says:

    you mean for http://ie6update.com/ ?

    At the end of their site they explain how to:

    var IE6UPDATE_OPTIONS = {
    icons_path: “http://static.ie6update.com/hosted/ie6update/images/”,
    message: “Este mensaje es un ejemplo…”
    }
