I was thinking to write a script that prevents IE6- users to see the sites I’m developing a long time ago, but I never seemed to have the time.

Fortunately a nice guy (I think his name is Mihai Ile) did, so he wrote this little script “that displays a warning message politely informing the user to upgrade the browser to a newer version (links to newest IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome are provided)”.

Thank you Mihai! Thank you in the name of all frustrated web developers, who spend their precious time downgrading their code to support IE6 or explaining their customers and visitors why it’s not a good idea to use a browser that was produced 9 years ago.

Also, thanks Mirel for the link!

Update: Smashing Magazine published a nice  comic-book-like story about IE6. You might wanna check that too…

Thanks Alex for sharing this. The whole mix of ideas, composition and feelings is incredible!
