I have put IE6 on limited support. Basically, the programming needs to function, but if a column is bloated and pushes another one out of the way, or a png has a bizarre matte - it's not that big a deal.

This decision was made based on tracking stats, but I'm curious who else has gone to limited support or even out right dropping it? If you're still supporting it - what are you doing to ensure things work in your legacy browser(s)?

As of Fall 2009, I pronounce IE6 officially dead.

Looking at the stats across the sites I administer, I see less than about 3% of traffic claiming to be IE6 or lower. Huge difference from even just a year ago, when it was closer to 10%.

I advise:

  • Use jQuery --- jQuery provides some very handy cross-browser functionality (including IE6).
  • Use clean, semantically-driven markup.
  • Use straightforward, baseline CSS.
