The simplest thing we can do against IE6 is: don't support it anymore. Build your sites like if IE6 does not exist and the problem will auto-fix in short time.



We, uh, we fixed the glitch. So he won't be receiving a paycheck anymore, so it'll just work itself out naturally.

We always like to avoid confrontation, whenever possible. Problem is solved from your end.


This only works if everyone stops supporting IE6 together.

But if your site doesn't work on IE6, and your competitor's site (of comparable quality) does, you're going to lose traffic to him.

I mean, this is basically the prisoner's dilemma. Nobody wins unless we all win together.
