A sly flourish or something more loud and ostentatious?

I stumbled across this site whilst looking for a fix for PNG’s in IE6, but keep coming back to it as an example of some awesome jQuery flashyness.

How I wish this graph was smaller!

Cost/benefit of browser development

Seeing as I’m currently struggling with IE6 development, I can’t wait until this graph changes… substantially.

The increased cost, stress and pain involved with development for the legacy browser is ridiculous. Here’s hoping that the (imminent) release of IE8 will push more people to upgrade. But I doubt it.

Absolute Genius

Extra quick post, just to say that I stumbled across this snippet of Javascript that I think is just absolute genius.

My current project at work is to build a new all singing, all dancing website. Which of course “they” (the business) wants to be compatible with IE6.

Browser sniffing is of course bad practise, but sometimes, there’s no option. Here is a tiny snippet of javascript which only ever returns true if you’re using Internet Explorer, all versions, thats 6, 7 and 8.

32 bytes, ehr … 9, to know if your browser is IE
