Hi erich, I check your website in my Firefox ver. 3.6.10 and I.E. 8
both of them are showing your website coolness. So don't be bother
if your website don't look good on I.E 6 it was browser issues. And by
the way I stumble it, I really like your webpage

I would hardly class IE6 as a "latest browser" given that it was released in 2001, and has not been updated since 2006.

**edgray** · 10-13-2010, 10:29 AM

I wouldn't worry about IE6. As long as they can get to the content, don't bother making it look nice for them.

**erich_here** · 10-13-2010, 02:24 PM

Hello Everbody,
Thankyou for your time and feedback on my issue.

Yes elf you are right. It's true that IE.6 is now unsupported and outdated but it's also true that some peolple still use it. what abt them ? Just thinking that there love towards IE.6 should end now.

Thank you very much for checking it with all the browsers. Did u used IE.6 for checking ? If its IE 7 or IE 8 it works fine but when it comes to IE 6 there are lot of things go abnormal. like
* The *.png images loads with weired background.
* It doesn't show the style of text properly.
* The hover border of the thumbnails mising.
etc.

**Html Web Design** · 10-20-2010, 04:16 AM

the php version
<?php if(preg_match('/msie/i', $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]) > 0) { header("location: some url"); } else { header("location: some other url"); } ?> <html> ... </html>

The javascript version.
<html> <head> <script language="javascript"> function myredirect() { if(navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("msie ") != -1) { window.location = some url; } } </script> </head> <body onload="myredirect()"> ... </body> </html>

Use this code it may help you ..

**Crimson** · 10-22-2010, 02:03 AM

According to people who track these things (http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_explorer.asp) about 6% of web users still use IE 6. Depending on the website, that might be significant... some sites can probably afford to just stop supporting IE 6, but for others that 6% could be a big deal.

**rohnsmith** · 10-22-2010, 03:31 AM

there must be a some piece of programming code that makes your site compatible with all browser on platform that you have used to develop.

ya the states shows that I.E6 in jan 2010 was 10.2% and in sep 2010 it's 5.6%
so IE 6 may vanish by the end of the next year. Hurray !!!!

Those statistics might be flawed - if they're taken from people visiting the the W3 site, it's most likely going to be those involved in web development, so few would be using IE6.

In the real world, I think the percentage is far higher. I know many of the larger companies in my area still predominantly run XP with IE6. It really makes my job difficult

God !, just checked that page again and omg ! at the end of the table guess what's written ?

These statistics are based on W3Schools users.

Now I'm worried ! also I feel sorry for u but we can handle it. aren't we?

there we go then

I'm sure IE6 has a much higher percentage... worrying really, but I guess many companies are holding off updating their IT during this financial crisis...

**erich_here** · 10-22-2010, 07:15 AM

just visited http://www.beautyoftheweb.com to download I.E 9 Beta but it only support Win 7 and vista . disappointment for xp users.
IE9 does not run on Windows XP yeah it's true

Now xp is limited to the I.E 8 as the latest I.E browser. what it means ?
Microsoft will loose the web browser share because the majority of windows users are running xp not vista and 7.

**webmastertalker** · 10-22-2010, 08:45 AM

Hi,

I understand your problem and I suggest you to use a code that identify visitors with ie6 and alert them they should update their browser or install firefox...

PHP Code:


			
                                 <?php
 if (stristr('MSIE', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) {
   // Some breed of Internet Exploder...
   if (stristr('MSIE 7.0', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) {  
   {
     // IE 7, also IE 8 when in broken pages mode
     // (it lies about its user agent in that mode -- joy)
   } else if if (stristr('MSIE 8.0', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) {
     // IE 8
   } else {
     // IE 6 or earlier HERE YOU CAN PUT YOUR HTML CODE FOR FIREFOX DOWNLOAD OR SIMILAR
   

   }
 }
 ?>

Not necessarily, eventually Windows 7's market share will catch up. You've only got to use Windows 7 for a couple days to realize just how ancient XP is.

The really disturbing part is that as long as some people use XP, even if IE6 dies off we now have to support IE8 for the next decade (minimum). And supporting IE8 is not exactly fun either.
