IE6 update: A hat trick.
3 Comments 14th MAY 2009 | Posted by Željko Prša in Fun, Tools
The guys from “Done21” presented an ingenious way of “upgrading” your visitor’s IE 6 to IE 8.
This much needed change for everyone is available at their site as an add-on for the web page using some jQuery magic and obvious good style copying of that infamous IE yellow-bar.
The hat-trick is pretty simple. You plant the .js code in the page and when the visitor using IE6 hits that
page he is presented with the pale yellow dropdown bar offering “update” for the wretched browser, which takes the user to the microsoft’s IE8 download page. Hillarious 
Head over to the ie6update.com site and plant that seed on your web page.

Nice, but already done, Pushuptheweb is a project that displays a message to IE6 users to upgrade, FF1 and FF2 Users to upgrade to FF3 also Opera and Safari are supported all in one script.

Great; create a message that fakes an application message, nothing like inspiring user trust in the web.
