What is the correct way to solve the problem of IE6? I believe many inexperienced people are at a loss about it. Therefore, this paper summarizes the causes and solutions of the problem. Through this article, I hope you can solve this problem.

This topic was raised by IE6 No More, which was originally a campaign against IE6 browsers, and almost every developer around them installed a plug-in on their own WordPress, requiring those IE6 browser users to install other browsers, otherwise they would deny users access to the site. Is it necessary to use such extreme measures as "denial of access"? Does it deviate from the basic respect of Web developers for users? How to solve the problem of IE6 correctly is worthy of anyone who depends on the World wide Web to think independently and find a way out.

Thinking before taking over the rice bowl

Almost every Web practitioner thanks browsers, whether as product managers, content editors or developers; it's like sleeping in an Armani in a BMW to Kempinski, thanks to sunshine, land, rain and dew, and the food that farmers bring to the world. The user is the food and clothing parents of the World wide Web, and the browser is the first user of Web; openness and freedom are the basic characteristics of the network, and it is also a magic weapon to serve users and change the world. Thanks to the browser, respect for users, is every Web corrector "begging" the mental process.

Users who use IE6 are also users.

With the treasure book of "user-centered", it shuts out IE6 users on the grounds that "it is a bad browser", which is a bit like Ye Gong Haolong. Here, such as "existence is truth" is not the scope of this article, the fact is: IE6 is still the most frequently used browser by domestic users. If users never care about the version of the browser, or simply do not know that TT or Maxthon are using the current IE kernel, they are confused and denied access, and if they want to see the desired content, they must be forced to install a new browser. The user encountered a network hooligan.

Technology cannot be separated from business.

This is not to rehabilitate IE. Microsoft's browsers have always been bad, but their business strategy has been very successful. for many domestic Internet users, surfing the Internet is equivalent to "IE+QQ" besides games. Anyone with Web development experience should know that there is a worse browser than IE6, and that is the infamous IE5/IE5.5, where developers have to prepare a lot of hack to make stylesheets work properly in IE5; has anyone ever "IE5 No More" with great fanfare? Ignore it at all, IE5 has gradually withdrawn from the stage of history, is the result of business operation, but also the process of user choice.

It is certain that there are still users using IE4/IE5, because the browser is not only a simple technical problem, it has left too many traces in the level of business competition; in the process of popularization, products often deviate from the track of "the latest technology" and yield to business in order to obtain development capital.

"refusal to visit" is a ridiculous performance art.

"set up a seven-star stove, boil the three rivers with a bronze pot, and set up a table for the eight Immortals to entertain sixteen parties, all with one mouth." in ancient China, we even knew the basic business principle of "no deception between the young and the old." Why is there browser discrimination in the 21st century? I can't figure it out. Or you can think of IE6 No More as a kind of performance art, in which IE6 is demonized and other browsers are washed clean by the way; it doesn't help to keep some users hovering outside the walls of Web content and doesn't change anything.

IE6 No More is not a purely technical issue.

No browser in the world is perfect, and all kinds of problems exist outside of IE6. IE6 No More has two interesting features: first, IE7 and IE8 have been bleached; second, other browsers have the opportunity to carve up the market. No matter how bad Microsoft's browsers are, at least in China, online payments mainly rely on IE browsers; IE browsers cannot be separated from the Windows platform for the time being; and the cost of reinstalling certificates for IE users is still high.

IE6 manufacturers bind defective products to the operating system, but website developers punish users by "denying access". What is the guilt of users? Web practitioners with empathy will never tolerate letting users become victims of business competition!

Correctly solve the fade out of IE6

Any change is a slow process, to fundamentally solve the problem of IE6, the focus is on manufacturers, not users. IE6, like other old browsers, will retire from history sooner or later, but this process should be spontaneous by the user, not by the website's disciplinary methods of coercion and inducement. Even current IE browsers have ways to support Html5, so there must be some basic and effective code improvements for IE6, which may not solve the fundamental problem, but at least for the sake of users.

In any case, allowing users to use browsers to access content normally is the bottom line of Web development, and IE6 users should not be greatly contradicted by a few "page effects". Giving IE6 users access to Web content first, and then recommending better browsers, is the right solution.
