IE6 Must Die!

]]> Steve and Lin have reported my site crashed their Internet Explorer 6 browsers.  I’ve tested it using a Windows 2000 machine at work, and confirmed it.  I’ve been trying to figure out which plugin or sidebar widget does this.  I found the Lightbox 2 plugin was the problem.  I really like this plugin, but not enough to lock out my readers who are still stuck with IE6.  I’ll find an alternative.

Through my research on the subject, apparently IE6 is a much hated browser by everyone.  It crashes on trivial javascripts and the W3 compliant stylesheets.  There are many sites citing displeasure over IE6.  Here are some them:

As an IT person, it’s going to be my solemn duty to encourage and plan for phasing out IE6.  We have many alternatives, and need not to be stuck in the stone ages.  You can help.  Kill IE6 now!

[Update] Changed the Lightbox2 plugin to Shadowbox JS.  Works like a charm!
