After my last post I really got to thinking that really a user needs direction rather than a shunning. As developers we cannot and should not ignore almost a 1/4 of the internet surfers out there. So I am developing a script to detect Internet Explorer 6 then throw a nice alert at the top of your webpage informing the end user that they are using an out dated browser offering a link to the Microsoft website where they can upgrade their web browser. It then leans on jQuery for a fancy fade out gimmick to close the box.
Very easy to implement and works great. I will post the files in a few days along with directions.

Cool
Let me know if you need any assistance with it.
This looks awesome but I am having trouble…
I am not familiar with PHP but am trying to place this on a new site. I have the page on a test server here:
http://on-targetproductions.com/ontarget/home.php
the box won’t close or doesn’t fade.. think you can help me out ???
THANKS!
Looks good. I think there should be a cookie or some other way to check whether the users has already closed the box. Otherwise, it keeps on showing all the time.
