Help Kill IE6

My methods are usually a little more intrusive as I tend to simply block IE6 from viewing altogether if it's a low-traffic site.

Here's a more fun and trickier way tho, write this to your document head tag:

<!--[if IE 6]>
<script type="text/javascript">
    /*Load jQuery if not already loaded*/ if(typeof jQuery == 'undefined'){ document.write("<script type=\"text/javascript\"   src=\"http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js\"></"+"script>"); var __noconflict = true; }
    var IE6UPDATE_OPTIONS = {
        icons_path: "http://static.ie6update.com/hosted/ie6update/images/"
    }
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.ie6update.com/hosted/ie6update/ie6update.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

Viewers behind the times will see this:

Kill IE6 Script Popdown

Script and junk comes from http://ie6update.com/  where you can download the source or just copy the code from the box they provide and leave it hosted with them.

May the cancer end and SOON!

By the way, the campaign is supported by Microsoft Norway! :)

And so as not to be too biased

I do agree with some of what is said over at http://www.friskdesign.com/2009/04/21/why-ie6update-is-wrong/ But I also do not care. I am tired of spending the extra minutes or hours to fix something for those 300 out of 2800 monthly viewers. The fonts are ugly, the render is ugly, everything is just ugly in ie6.
