After a long past few days fixing someone’s code for an un-named website to look good across all browsers, I decided I hate IE 6 more than ever. Even though I will still continue to support IE 6 in clients websites (for now), I’ve decided to f*cking phase them out permanently on my sites. It’s been way too long, people get your sh*t together and just upgrade. And for you that are in countries where you can’t upgrade for what ever reason beyond your desirable pleasure… I feel sorry for you.
I’m taking a stand now. If you wanna join in and make IE 6 users experience at viewing your site the opposite of enjoyable here’s how. Copy the code below and put it right under your <body> tag. Then just add the css from below as well. Then if a user using anything <= IE 6 they will get the message loud and clear.
<!--[if lte IE 6]><div>Common get it together!! You're using an out of date browser (released more than 7 years ago). To view this page properly, we recommend using a modern, standards-compliant browser - such as <a href="http://www.firefox.com">Firefox</a>, <a href="http://www.opera.com/">Opera</a>, <a href="http://www.apple.com/safari/">Safari</a> or <a href="http://www.google.com/chrome">Google Chrome</a>. All of which are 100% free.</div><![endif]-->
Now the CSS
.ie_notice {margin:5px 0;padding:10px;border:1px solid #dedeb9;background:#ffffd4;text-align:center;color:black;font-size:1.5em;}
.ie_notice strong, .ie_notice a{color:red;}
Of course you can style it anyway your heart desires, but the main point is your helping rid the world of the LAMEST BROWSER EVER. Common peeps it will be fun!
