Oh, I thought it would be automatically injected into the DOM.
Didn’t know that a snippet must always be part of a page or post.

Thanks Shea! ??

Great that you like it ??

The pirate-guys could at least download Firefox or sth. though ??

I disagree with you, just like more than 220 other bloggers that already downloaded this plugin after a few days, which make it the one most downloaded from the list of new entries.

The problem with ie6 is simply that still 20% of the people that surf the web (Number comes from iedeathmarch.com) are using it. If they’d all upgrade to ie7 or ie8 I’d agree with you, but as long as there are still so many ie6-users, I see a purpose for this plugin.

I don’t know why people keep their old ie6. I can only think of three possible reasons:

1. They don’t want to upgrade (Don’t ask me why)
2. They don’t know why they should upgrade or even worse: They don’t even know that there is an upgrade (I am talking about computer beginners here)
3. They are to lazy

I can’t help user no. 1 but maybe my plugin can convince no. 2 and even no. 3.
If there is only one ie6 user that switches to a better browser, this plugin definately was not pointless.

There are so many reasons why people shouldn’t use ie6 like

• Security issues
• Lack of modern css functions
• Poor usability (No tabs, no private browsing and so on…)
• Low Javascript functionality
• …

.. just to name a few.

These problems makes it more difficult to build websites than it should be.
It’s crazy that you actually have to use IE-hacks to make your site work in ie6, only cause of this one browser, where every other webbrowser causes no trouble after all.

Ie6 needs to die. The sooner, the better.

I force noone to install it, if he/she doesn’t want to but I’d appreciate it.
