IE6 Notice is a 2kb Javascript file that adds a notice for site visitors using Internet Explorer 6.

Why should I use this?

Internet Explorer 6 was released on August 27, 2001. Almost eight years later the web has moved on but Internet Explorer is still widely used, especially in corporate environments. It is time that users were encouraged to upgrade from Internet Explorer.

What does it look like?

Adding IE6 Notice to your site

To add IE6 Notice to your site just add this code before the closing body tag of your HTML.

<!--[if IE 6]>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://shapeshed.github.com/ie6-notice/ie6notice-1.0.0.min.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

This code generates the message for IE6 users.

Roll your own
