I'm sorry, but I think you are on your own on this one :) Anyone who was ever involved in coding CSS workarounds for IE6 remembers this nightmare very strongly and would not go back to it even if paid lots of money :) If you need your app to work perfectly on IE6, I suggest starting the nightma

I have written a calming reply yesterday but now I see it hasn't showed up. Hm. I use the google groups web interface and this isn't the first time this has happened. Ah well. Anyway, it wasn't my intention to attack anyone, but it seems that I still have a strong opinion about IE. I thought th

I apologize to you on behalf of the web2py community. I don't think anybody meant to bash you, only Internet Explorer. You're 100% right about large companies using ancient browsers. I work for a very large fortune 500 company, and we are still using IE7 with no sign of an upgrade in the works.

I'm not the OP and I'm not saying web2py should look beautiful in IE6 out of the box. I'm just saying there are legitimate reasons for people to be using it and attacking people coming to this forum seeking help doesn't make the web2py community look all that helpful...

Agreed. I'm not sure there is a compelling case for ensuring perfect display of the "examples" app in IE6. There's no problem creating other web2py apps that run fine in IE6 (subject to IE6's own limitations). But it is curious that it looks OK at web2py.com but not when running from source on

My post was made in the light of web2py, perhaps it was a bit too vague. I'm sorry if you still need to support IE6 somewhere. Truly :) Among other things I contract for our country's government but the departments I have to deal with have moved away from IE6 a good while ago. I can understand

Because in the real world of limited time and limited budgets sometimes organizations don't have the resources to roll out new browsers when they want, especially when they rely on vendors whose web products *don't work* with new browsers. Someone who says 'I don't see a reason' is someone who

How is it wrong? What is the problem? If you need old browser compatibility, You could change the layout detecting the old browser with the request data. On Feb 22, 3:57 am, web2py_lover wrote: > in my IE 6.0, the layout ofhttp://web2py.com/examples/default/index shows ok > but mine (Current (1.9

Seriously?? :) Of course the layout is wrong. IE6 is ancient and probably one of the worst pieces of software in history. Even Google started campaigns to help people drop it already. I don't see any reason someone should still be using IE6 or IE7 these days and I really don't think web2py sho
