- Jem 18y agoAnd how is a page like that any different to the hundreds of websites that used to display "sorry, your browser is incompatible" to Firefox/Opera users? I thought we'd moved away from this blind alienation years ago.
- Zak 18y agoUsing this thing in tolerant mode just displays a note for the user. I think it's perfectly reasonable to not test with IE6 and to display a warning to the effect of "Your browser is very old and known to be buggy. This website might not work right.".
- jmah 18y agoAnd how is a page like that any different to the hundreds of websites that used to display "sorry, your browser is incompatible" to Firefox/Opera users? That was a pessimistic approach --- those sites were assuming that the page wouldn't act properly in anything other than (say) IE --- whereas this script is optimistic, assuming it will work, except in this specific case (IE6).
- Jem 18y agoGood point. I'd (personally) still rather tentatively support IE6. I know for a fact that most of my work clients are running IE6 though, so I have little choice in the matter.
