IE6 - Bane of the web

Hi all,

So this is my first post in an attempt to blog once a week, we'll see how it goes :).

IE6 - A little help from the web

I've been doing an awful lot of front end development recently and like so many before me I've run across the evil monster that is IE6.

Unfortunately IE6 still holds onto a market share that is too large to ignore and so reluctantly I've been having to put in the various IE6 hacks that are needed to make my sites look halfway decent in that browser.

So without further ado, here are some helpful links I've found:

• What Beautiful HTML looks like - A sample on how to write beautifully laid out code.
• The Holy Grail - The original article on how to create CSS layouts; make sure you browse the comments for extra help!
• The Holier Grail - Sample code for your layout needs.
• Fix 9 common IE bugs - Workaround details.
• Transparent PNGs in IE6 - Get them working with this awesome script!
• Taming Lists - How to do lists properly.

So "Are we there yet?" - Until IE6 has no more market share, unfortunately not.

Oh and I also now have a new 13" Macbook Pro, it was so amazingly quick to set up and start using. I've literally never used OSX before and I haven't gotten stuck yet, awesome job Apple!

"So are we there yet?" - Yes, yes we are :).
