IE6 end of the era is coming, from the U.S. well-known technology blog Mashble news that Microsoft has opened the "IE6 Count dowm" site, the Chinese translation of "IE6 Countdown." "IE6 was born 10 years ago, new browser standards have been set up, and IE6 's farewell has Come," the website wrote. Microsoft also clarified that the main purpose of the site was to monitor the use of IE6 browsers worldwide and to bring its market share down to 1% per cent worldwide. And the reality is, nearly 35% of netizens in China are still using IE6, although "IE6 Count dowm" gives enough reason to allow users to give up IE6 and accept a newer version of IE, but the user's habits, especially in a large number of users in the Chinese market, are not diverted.

Every upgrade of the browser will lead to Web site construction and Web page production technology innovation. When the arrival of the IE7 era, overnight caused a lot of web site structure dislocation. and the number of browsers that have been compatible with each other has been a headache for many web site construction companies. Because with the advent of the web2.0 era, interactive web site design more and more users like, many enterprises in the implementation of Web site construction outsourcing, will clearly put forward some special features of the site construction requirements. and relative to earlier, but the page design production requirements slightly higher, this difficulty will naturally increase a lot. Due to the widespread application of IE6, at least half of the sites currently available on the market are based on the IE6 technical standards developed. If IE6 is really slowly being eliminated, then the challenges of such a massive web site will be evident.

Before the end of IE6 browser, website construction companies need to do is to upgrade their own web site development technology to adapt to new technical standards. In the front-end page production, we must strictly enforce the standards of the consortium. The structural language should strongly conform to XHTML standards and adopt a standard CSS cascading style sheet to make the appearance and structure separate. The CSS cascading style based on the standard of the consortium is more convenient for web site access and maintenance while adapting to the new browsing and parsing standards. Because the CSS code is independent of the page program code, the page volume will be further reduced, but also more conducive to search spider crawling, site optimization will naturally play a more active role. The HTML technology standard now used should be 4.0 technology, while XHML is HTML to XML over and the XML version was launched in 2000. Only now, this standard is gradually widely used.

For web-site construction companies mainly engaged in Web site building, especially in the number of small network companies between 10-20, so many based on the IE6 standard development of the site, how to adapt to upgrade will be a problem to face. Microsoft has previously given the compatibility code, that is, the HTML content between the addition of whether it is also applicable to subsequent IE browser standards, now everything is unknown. As a website construction company, in the face of technology upgrades, the new technical standards to adjust the customer site, will also be a small amount of work, but have to go for it. On the one hand, you can guide customers to upgrade the revision, the construction of a more contemporary aesthetic views and realistic needs of the site; In the case of guiding the customer upgrade, another practice can only slowly according to the new technical standards, is to adjust the upgrade program.

Web site construction companies face the challenge, in fact, far more than the end of IE6, or IE browser upgrade and update. A website is good enough, its important reference is the user experience. The reality of the problem is that a variety of browsers, different browsers to adopt the technical standards will not be exactly the same. The development and construction of the site, whether more perfect compatible with the mainstream browser, but also constitute a user experience an important aspect. The only way to solve this dilemma is to make sure that the program is programmed to conform to the standards of the consortium, and then test the mainstream browsers compatible with Ie/firefox/chrome. Although a wide range of domestic browsers, but the vast majority are divided into two categories, one is based on IE kernel, such as the window of the World browser, 360 security browser; another is based on open source Webtik browser, such as Sogou's high-speed browser, its dual-core concept is a core is IE, Another is the Webtik kernel based on open source. Development of the site, as long as the perfect compatibility of the two cores, basically more than 95% of the domestic browser can be compatible.

IE6 Countdown is just a start, also passing a signal, browser compatibility issues can not be ignored. To deal with the upcoming revolution, the Internet based on the application of corporate web site construction companies, is indeed a big challenge. But also is not the solution, the way is in the website construction and website production process, from now on, strictly according to the Web page development standards. Through the verification of this standard is compatible, the compatibility of different browsers has been resolved 90%, the remaining 10% only need careful testing can also be a perfect solution.
