Anyone who has ever designed a web site has more than likely hit the old problem with cross-browser compatibility – in other words, trying to get your web site to look the same (or as close as possible) in as many of the various web browsers as possible.
With the advent of XHTML and CSS, things have gotten better compared to the days of HTML v4 and its older iterations. The problem is that too many people are still using Internet Explorer version 6, which is around 8 years old now, and quite ancient in terms of computers and computer software.
Because IE6 is still so popular, web designers still have to support it, which gives them major headaches. As a result, a new movement is afoot to try and get people to update their browsers to IE8, Firefox 3.5, or one of the other alternatives such as Google’s Chrome.
This movement is called IE6 no more, and is gaining more and more (major) sites at a fast pace (currently at 70+).
If you want more information, and code snippets, you can visit their web site at http://www.ie6nomore.com .
Floppy Dog supports this initiative, and has added the code to the site’s template, so if you visit us with IE6 or older, you should get a warning notice just above.
