Internet Explorer 6 was released in August of 2001. At that time it was a substantial advancement in browser technology. Enhanced CSS support, better cooler DOM level control. Sure it wasn't standards compliant, but at that time, the standards were so unsupported that it didn't really matter because any progress was good progress.
But times have changed. Browsers have a evolved, computers have gotten more powerful and users have grown to expect more from the web. The time when standards were only a suggestion have passed. That's why, as a web developer, I beg of you, please do not use Internet Explorer 6. Don't let your family use it, don't let your kids use it, don't even let your dog use it. Even to this day, IE6 has a market share of about 30% on the internet. But, as web developer, the pain of having to deal with a 7 year old browser technology has cost me many a night of lost sleep.
So please, save a web developer, upgrade your browser today.
