anti IE6
2008 June 8
jQuery plugin to warn a user to upgrade from IE6. Strike back at MS’ empire
Beacause this files are so small, I suggest sticking them to some other .js in your site, to make fewer HTTP requests to the server.
Here are the resources:

CSS: http://www.mediafire.com/?5nebmmjmxhn
DEMO (open with IE6): http://madisonsoccercentral.com/admin/anti-ie6/
How to use: just include the .js file. Done !
Please post feedback with your mods or suggestions.
Nice, you should post this to http://www.savethedevelopers.org/
Many web developers still have the crazy notion that we should support IE6. However, doing so only causes us more pain because people using IE6 mistakenly believe that they have a good browser and therefore never get rid of it so the pain continues.
The only feasible way to kill off IE6 is to simply stop supporting it. When the customer or end-user complains, explain that their browser is broken and that they should upgrade to a free, modern browser like Firefox, Opera or Safari/Webkit.
Think about it, if your car was broken would you expect all the roads in the country to be modified to counter the broken car? No, it would be ludicrous. The broken car would be fixed or destroyed for the good of humanity.
Yet, it seems, in the web world we continue this crazy self-destructive act of supporting the most widespread and heavily broken browser the entire planet has ever encountered. It has to stop.
hey. yeah. thanks for the tip about: savethedevelopers.org
