I want to warn users of Internet Explorer 6 using my site, that IE6 has had serious compatibility issues with my site in the past. What is the best way to do this?
Ideally, I want to have a message appear (not a new window, but a message box, if possible) that warns IE6 users of the issues and reccommends they update to either IE7, Firefox 3 or Opera 9.5.
If you see the message 'Unsupported browser' this means you are using a browser such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox that we don't currently support. You should be able to install one of our supported browsers on most of the devices used in education.
The best way to target IE is through the use of conditional comments. You can then add some specific HTML that will only display in Internet Explorer.
<!--[if IE 6]>
<h1>Please upgrade your browser!</h1>
<![endif]-->
