Do Yourself and Us a Favour : Get Rid of Internet Explorer 6

If you’re a web designer, you’ll share my pain as I describe my frustrations of having to write style sheets (CSS) for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 6 and EVERYTHING else. I spent a good part of my evening yesterday trying to fix our “IE6″ version of the site which I realised has had a whacked-out menu for at least 5 months.

If it wasn’t for the fact that there are a lot of you out there still using it, I would quite happily not bother about it. Check out this May’s Urchin Stats Report on Browser / Operating Systems visting my site:

Here are my suggested internet browser upgrades:

1. Firefox (this website has been optimised for this)
2. Internet Explorer 7

Some benefits that both of the above internet browsers have over Internet Explorer 6 are tabbed browsing, improved security and more customisable.

Thank you for listening to my Thursday morning whinge…
