How hard can it actually be for a website to support IE 6? Normally I am pretty quick to say 'we don't support it' but this one shouldn't be that difficult. I go with marketing on this one, 10 percent of your market share is too much to walk away from. I certainly agree with the EOL arguments and lack of security support and software support from MS, but that is an aurgument for the other side of the desktop and the people that support that. It really isn't the question you are facing.

I would like to build an argument to stop supporting IE6 and also help encourage users to upgrade. Does anyone in the group have any good arguements about using or supporting IE6? Our readership is 10% IE6. So marketing is screaming support it. The developers are saying its junk anyway and they need to be off it. I have my own opinions on it but would like to recommend a "general industry opinion". So, what sayeth the industry? -Bill ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
