Client: “We are not asking much, can’t you just make our site work 100% the same across IE6 7 and 8, it is only just one browser that we ask you to support here, you can ignore Safari, Firefox for now.. and yet you failed to make all the fields line up and the png load up really slowly on IE6…”

“Coding for IE6 is like coding for Windows 2000.”

Tell that to our corporate clients who are still using IE6 and there Tech guys refuse or will not allow them to upgrade, thats the major problem with IE6, your average home user has probably upgraded many moons ago, but its when you do work for large companies or organisations you tend to find they still use IE6 and there Tech guys have no plans in the not so distant future to upgrade there browsers.

Tech guys pull your fingers out and upgrade

I agree with Jacob, people who don’t develop web applications for a living are free to utter the “Just stop supporting IE6″ battle-cry, while the rest of us poor souls who have paying clients have to conform to specs like “support IE6″ or “I want a flashing ticker”.

Let’s face reality and continue to support IE6 (here in Asia, you’re looking at up to 50% of traffic still using IE6!) whilst pushing standards. Also, with the uptake of Windows 7, the time line for IE6 to become obsolete is getting shorter.

I think as developers we have the power to turn off IE$. If we can set a “basic” layout/design for IE and advanced one for the rest, we cab do the trick. For example: Just add a button to switch to “advanced” mode and alert IE users that for them, could be buggy, and suggest to use any other browser instead. That way, IE users will still have functionality but with less features.

I don’t want to keep spending hours Hacking my codes to pleasure IE browsers that care very little about standards.

How is this relevant when IE6 has minimum market share which will only getting worse? Forget the IE6 users.
