Stop IE6

About Widgets

Let's quickly explain how these widgets work.

Most widgets are rendered using conditional comments which are a feature Microsoft implemented in Internet Explorer because of all the incompatibilities it has with other browsers. These are used in the following manner:

<!--[if IE 6]>
                
HTML that only executes in IE6

<![endif]-->

What this means, is that while these widgets may be, and some are designed to be, intrusive to users of Internet Explorer 6, they will not affect other browsers.

Widgets

Below you will find many intrusive widgets which only display for users of Internet Explorer 6. You can also find out how to create your own custom widget.

Simple Text Message

Your browser is causing web developers a lot of headaches. Please upgrade.

Random Text Message

This will show a random message if the user has JavaScript enabled. If not, it will show the same message each time.

DHTML Popup Window

The window shows up on page load, and only shows for Internet Explorer 6 windows. Please note, that the preview may show incorrectly if you are not using Internet Explorer 6.

Redirection

While we don't recommend doing this, if you really want to force your users to upgrade you can do a JavaScript redirection.
