There are some techniques that are not mentioned in any book and that we recently discovered on Designer Daily .
If you have tried every trick in the book with no luck, take a look at their recommendations and we assure you you will have a better experience with IE6.
“The best way to get rid of IE6 is to stop supporting it.” some may argue this is a bad move as our responsibility as Web Developers is to support our users and create a nice user experience when navigating through our websites. I completely agree with this statement but I can’t agree to keep supporting a browser that has no respect whatsoever to my work and makes me waste countless hours trying to get things to work correctly on it.
My plan: Every new client that I get is being upgraded to IE7 or FireFox, depending on their usage and thanks to some Racists Websites that don’t work on any other browser except IE.
Just figured I shared this screen capture with all of you. Isn’t it beautiful how Microsoft websites don’t work correctly on their own browsers?
I found this on another Website but forgot the link:
“Officially support running multiple versions of IE. Web professionals need to spend way too much time to test their work in IE as it is. Ease our pain just a little by giving us an official way of running several versions of IE on the same copy of Windows. Not necessarily at the same time, but without having to reboot or reinstall. Please.”
I mean, Microsoft updates my computer whenever they want to. They even turn it off on the middle of a rendering to finalize their update yet, they don’t update everybody to IE7 but decide that no one should be allowed to run both browsers on the same computer. So here I am having to resort to two different computers, one with IE6 an one with IE7 so that I can fully test my websites on both browsers.
Thanks again Microsoft, for making my developer life yet a little easier by having to work on multiple computers
