There's a difference between *services* (applications) no longer supporting IE6 and *toolkits* no longer supporting IE6. We all pray for IE6 to finally disappear (even Microsoft!), but it unfortunately isn't done yet. (and before dropping support for IE6, we could start dropping support for Gecko 1.7, i.e. Firefox 1.0, which was only maintained because of GWTShell/HostedMode in GWT 1.x on Linux) However, having a global "switch" (deferred binding property) so that user.agent=ie6 would actually only work in "IE7" would be a good addition (get rid of AlphaImageLoader, etc.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
