If I ever am only allowed one rant, it is IE6.  I could go on for days about it’s lack of CSS sup­port, bugs, crazy hacks that have been cre­ated to ‘cope’ and many other things that make me crawl into the fetal posi­tion with my thumb in my mouth..  but I’m not going to.  I’m sim­ply going to point out a few things: it was halfway decent for it’s time (back when peo­ple con­sid­ered Netscape as a ‘major’ browser).  It’s not so much IE6’s fault, as it is large cor­po­ra­tions not upgrad­ing thou­sands of their sys­tems (it’s only been nearly a decade…retro vin­tage browsers tight!)..

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.
