Update

Has been moved, and has it’s own page now.

Here’s why I actually wrote this post:

<!–[if lte IE 6]>
<meta http-equiv=“refresh” content=“0; url=/ie6.html” />
<script type=“text/javascript”>
<! [CDATA[
window.top.location = ‘/ie6.html’;
]]
–>
<!–[endif]–>

That little piece of nifty code will cause any user running IE6 to be relocated to a page (/ie6.html) ‘enlightening’ them about how badly their browser is outdated, and needs to be put out of its misery.

I thought that because it was so hard for me to find something like this via Google (which turned out to be a bust. NOTE TO SELF: don’t ever search for ‘relative time functions’ unless you want your brain to explode), that I would post it here, and make it readily available to anybody who needs/wants it.

Note: that I took an existing function and modified it. The original writer of this code was: Jason Tan
