As a Web Designer/ Software Developer, IE6 is a browser that is difficult to avoid if you have a web site where the world is your audience.   There are so many non-compliance issues with IE6 that it is difficult to maintain a comprehensive list of known problems.  The most annoying problem with IE6 is the non-support of PNG24 images.

In any event, I saw an article in CNN this morning where web designers are starting a movement to get rid of IE6.  I would not expect the demise of IE6 anytime soon, however this can only be good news.

The problems with IE6 can become so overwhelming that I wrote a special ASP.NET custom control for one project that conditionally injects special HTML code where appropriate for IE6.  It works sort of like this...

   1:<slcms:InjectBrowserHtml runat="server">

   2:<DefaultTemplate>

   3:<img src="/Themes/Images/ShipMyLuggage/Your-ticket-to-ease.png" 

   4: alt="Your ticket to ease of convenience" />

   5:</DefaultTemplate>

   6:<IE6Template>

   7:<div style="filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(sizingMethod='scale',

   8:                    src='/Themes/Images/ShipMyLuggage/Your-ticket-to-ease.png'); 

   9:                width: 478px; 

  10:                height: 149px;">

  11:  

  12:</div>

  13:</IE6Template>

  14:</slcms:InjectBrowserHtml>

And of course, all over the web are articles about how to fix the most noticeable IE6 problems....such as 10 Fixes That Solve IE6 Problems...

IE6 ?....Good riddance...
