Whilst I agree there will be a small number of users who can’t upgrade from IE6 due to Windows Genuine Advantage, I think the far bigger reason they can’t upgrade is due to the fact that the majority of those still using IE6 are on corporate networks in work, and their IT Departments/system admins won’t upgrade their software infrastructure! …and because Microsoft don’t like to “rock the boat” with large corporations, they’ve decided to continue supporting IE6 until 2014!

I blogged about this very issue recently:

Don’t forget to change the path to your images. The code goes into the stylesheet. You will need a transparent GIF file. Do not put the [code] and [/code] in your stylesheet. They were meant to display this text as code, but didn’t work as I thought. You can to my site and see it in action. This code works good in IE7 and IE8. IE6 might be another story. Sorry.

@Ralph You can use the alpha transparency filter in your style sheet to fix your png problem in IE. Not sure if I can paste the style code here, but I will try: [code] * html img, * html .png{ behavior: expression((this.runtimeStyle.behavior="none")&&(this.pngSet?this.pngSet=true:(this.nodeName == "IMG" && this.src.toLowerCase().indexOf('.png')>-1?(this.runtimeStyle.backgroundImage = "none", this.runtimeStyle.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='" + this.src + "', sizingMethod='image')", this.src = "images/transparent.gif"):(this.origBg = this.origBg? this.origBg :this.currentStyle.backgroundImage.toString().replace('url("','').replace('")',''), this.runtimeStyle.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='" + this.origBg + "', sizingMethod='crop')", this.runtimeStyle.backgroundImage = "none")),this.pngSet=true) ); } [/code] Make sure to give your png images a position or they will not work as links.

OMG! I’m working on a site for a client and I thought well lets check it in IE8. Result: Loads of script conflicts (such as PNG Alpha transparency in combination with jQuery opacity statements) and heaps of display problems. I’ve tried to look for a png fix such as the ones for IE6 and came to the conclusion…. THERE IS NOT ONE!!!!!

AND NOW COMES IT!!!!.

I’ve checked all the sites that I made over the last 2 years in IE8 and I was shocked to see that they all have major issues regarding usability, display and functionality.
After cursing for an hour or so and wishing Bill Fucking Gates everything what we don’t want to have, I really don’t know how I’m going to explain my former clients that I need days and in some cases even, weeks, to solve all the issues and that they have to pay for me to do so while actually BILL FUCKING GATES have to pay me for that.

Seriously, I know that I as a web developer can’t ignore Internet Explorer, because there are still too many end users stuck with the shitiest browser on earth, but deep in my Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome, etc, HEARTH… I WISH I COULD!

This is an interesting article DAO. Here is a document that we developed to help users take to their companies. It discusses why businesses should offer their users an alternative to IE6.
