Be careful just quoting statistics without context. Numbers can tell any story you want them too if you approach them from the right angle. W3 Schools browser stats are a bit biased since their visitors are generally more tech savvy than the average user. There are other numbers that tell a different story:

I stand by my original statement. Saying you don't want to support IE7 is just a arbitrary as saying "I don't want to serve customers that wear blue shirts", or "I don't want to serve customers like to watch football"...

Telling customers to not use IE7 is just as bad as what some developer's used to do 10 years ago when they would put statements on their websites saying things like "This site is best viewed using Internet Explorer with a 1024x768 screen resolution".

Thanks for all the responses.
I was thinking that it could be done in a Filter, maybe use the
ContextFilter. Hopefully it is a good place to do the check.

Thanks,

You will need to do it on very beginning of every page. header.ftl is the place you can put your code. header.ftl is part of the theme for 9.04 and
trunk.

Thanks,

Any ideas on this...
My ecommerce pages are very bad in IE7. Hence, I don't want to support
IE7.
Where are the hooks to provide this kind of check?

Thanks a lot.

Hello,
I don't want to support IE7, so I want to display a message to the user
saying
'use IE8, firefox etc.'

How can this be done

Regards
