I have recently discovered an article written by Sjim Wagemakers Webdesign titled “How To Help Kill IE6″, located at http://blog.sjimwagemakers.nl/webdesign/how-to-help-kill-ie6IE6 has been a thorn in my side for most of the site’s I have created.  I’d get the site looking perfect in IE8, Firefox, Safari and then (using another computer), I’d check it in IE6 and everything would be all awry.  I loved running across this article and learning that I am not the only developer that has run across this problem.  The current Browser Statistics for October 2009 are:

  • Firefox – 47.5%
  • IE7 – 14.1%
  • IE8 – 12.8%
  • IE6 – 10.6%
  • Chrome – 8.0%
  • Safari – 3.8%
  • Opera – 2.3%

Firefox is leading the pack, but IE6 is till 4th in the running… just amazing.  At least it is loosing popularity instead of gaining and soon should be out of the running altogether.
