Adaptavist

Guy of Adaptavist says:

We’re not dropping support for IE6 but we’re being extremely vocal about loathing it. We’re looking to charge double-rate for making sites work in IE6 in future to compensate for the extra time, pain and maintenance workload.

FYI, there is a Uninstall IE6 Day group on facebook – http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=32363753632

We’re doing our best to make sure everyone we know moves away from IE completely (we have no faith that IE8 will solve long overdue problems) and it gives us a lot of comfort seeing more and more people becoming vocal about IE death on the net. Keep up the good work! –Guy Fraser

Zenji Web

Ron of Zenji Web says:

Just found out about your project. I recently did a redesign of our site with a special gift for IE6 users – I disabled the whole thing in CSS and replaced with a notice:

“Dear user of Internet Explorer 6.0 or below,
Zenji Web would love for you to see our website as everyone else does, however we have decided to use this opportunity to protest the offensively outdated and inferior browser you are using and are therefore disabling the entire site until you upgrade. Its for your own good. Please download Firefox or if you insist on using Internet Explorer, upgrade to the latest version.”

Things You Can't Do In IE6

:first-child

You can’t use the psuedo selector :first-child (or :last-child) in IE6.

There is a work around, of course, using conditional comments and expressions.

Things You Can't Do In IE6

Attribute Selectors

You can’t use some handy CSS selectors like:

  1. input[type=”text”] for selecting text input elements or
  2. abbr[title] for selecting all <abbr> tags with a title attribute or
  3. a[href$=”.pdf”] for all links that point to pdf files

div#column and div[id=”column”] are equivalent selectors, but one doesn’t work in IE6. Handy for when you want to apply a style for everything else.

24 ways has an article from 2005 that talks about some nifty things you can do with attribute selectors.
