The joys of previous versions of Internet Explorer
02 February 2010 at 12:54
When we look at sites which we haven't developed it's quite common for us to delve deeper into the source code and check out how the website we're looking at is designed and built.
Looking at the CSS, Design and Build Quality of other people's websites helps us hone our development techniques. Sometimes we spot other coder's quirks and it makes us chuckle a little.
I was taking a quick look at the Home-Start South Hams website developed by a company called Fear of Mice and on inspecting their code we got a good idea on their thought of Internet Explorer 7 and even IE6...
Basically they're saying, "Load some extra styles if you're using IE6 or IE7." Older versions of Internet Explorer definitely have their quirks, that's for sure. Even Google have made the grand step of no longer supporting IE6, and how much longer do we carry on supporting the out of date browser which has been around for over 10 years now.
Even if you try and build a website to the highest web standards compliance, it is likely there will still be layout issues in IE6, so why on earth is anyone still using it or even supporting it?
