We will also discuss how to use technical means to guide users to abandon IE 6.

Chinese netizens are tenacious and stubborn! Although IE6 has been sentenced to death for a long time abroad, it has at least 50% of its share in China, which is really a headache!

 

I have seen many people propose a wide variety of proposed solutions, such:

1,Let the author of the XX garden pirated disk upgrade IE6 and release it again (basically unreliable. Please contact the author of the pirated disk first ...)
2,When we take the initiative to help our friends and colleagues fix their computers, we will upgrade Internet Explorer by the way (the starting point is good, but the effect is limited. Some people may think that Internet Explorer 6 is good. Why should we upgrade Internet Explorer ?)
3,Let some monopoly manufacturers in China: for example, 360 guardian and so on, force upgrade IE6 to users (this is definitely valid, but it seems difficult to obtain Zhou Hongyi's consent first)
4,Force upgrade of Microsoft's own users (this is certainly effective, but it is unlikely that Microsoft will do so to take care of previous Users)
...

I think: rather than counting on others or other companies, it is better for every website developer (indeed a front-end maker) to make full use of the differences between IE6 and other browsers when designing and making webpages, A better user test is designed for a better non-IE6 standard browser. For IE6, you only need to ensure that the user can use it normally, so that over time, users will gradually realize that the user inspection of web pages on IE6 is poor, and many interesting and useful functions cannot be used. Then they will give up IE6.

 

How to do this:

1,First, check the browser to scare users. Take the homepage that our company is revising recently.

For example, when you use IE6 to browse, it looks like the following:

A scary prompt is given on the top,Let the user know that the browser used to be IE6 is about to expire and should be upgraded.. Of course, it is important:Even for guidance, users cannot be forced to do things they don't like.So it is necessary to put a close button in the upper-right corner, so that users who are unwilling to upgrade can turn off this annoying tip.

 

If you use another browser, this prompt is not displayed.

 

2. Differentiated CSS design

It is definitely not feasible to fool users by taking steps 1,We need to make the user feel that IE6 is bad!

IE6 only supports the hover pseudo-class of Element A, and standard browsers can use the hover pseudo-class for any element. With this alone, IE6 can be inferior.

This is the performance of the Li + A element in the standard browser:

When you move the mouse over the link element, not only the highlighted background color is added, but even the layout is changed. This way, you may feel a little new and will be deeply impressed. (Especially when I first saw it, of course, when all the websites use this trick, it's not that rare. At this time, I have to think about other tricks)

In IE6, only the common performance is as follows:

 

It may not be intuitive. For details, refer to the demo of my two-day cutting page (of course, it is estimated that it will take one or two hours to complete tomorrow)

 

I am not a qualified front-end developer. I believe there are more professional front-end technicians in the garden, can come up with more and better design differences! If you have better suggestions (especially those with more feasible suggestions), you are welcome to reply to the comments or correct them.
