this is for a client of mine, the budget is there %100.

please post time length and how much money you want to recieve, to get the site working efficently in ie6

thanks

Just do it yourself mate. Code up a separate stylesheet for IE6, shouldn't take long, just strip out the fancy bits.

to start of with use png fix for the logo see here

make a seperate style sheet ie.css

just use this code to link it

<!--[if lte IE 6]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" 
href="ie.css" />    
<![endif]-->

cheers for the fix, i still cant work in an ie6 enviroment so its gunna be stupidly hard to make the layout work- in ie 6 :/

what is the budget then?

I quickly looked and the whole design is broken in ie6. The site has also got invalid HTML. I don't really want to dig in what exactly needs doing to make it look great in IE6 if your budget is doesnt meet any realistic expectations.

£100

for the budget

You might have trouble finding someone for £100, it is really messed up in ie6, all but unusable.

What is the deadline for the IE6 issues to be solved? I can have a look tonight and try to estimate how long it will take and will do it for £100 but I cant guarentee it is achievable in its current state. You might find that some structure needs adjusting that could affect all browsers.

tell them to upgrade their browser as even MS don't want IE6 used any more and there will be very few companies/works that use IE6.

mate ive tryed my hardest to exsplain a few times

what can you do eh ..

[zed]

tell them it will cost £1000 to fix?

[zed]

you've also got some JS errors that IE6 doesn't like
Line: 255
Char: 3
Error: 'document.getElementById(...)' is null or not an object
Code:0

[PhunkRabbit]

Two weeks is a good deadline, are there going to be changes to the site during that time, code wise? I will confirm around 7pm if it is do-able.


With regards to the IE6 upgrade comments,

I have had the same argument at work, I hate wasting my time for a small percentage of users still using IE6 but from a companys perspective, the costs involved with upgrading even somthing as simple as a web browser can be surprising and might even be out of reach for some.

• Does the OS support it? If not then that is additional cost.
• Will it require exisitng tools, sites and misc to be updated (systems designed to run on IE6 and below)? If not then that is additional cost.
• Will a browser upgrade require outside technical help, i.e. no internal i.t. department? If yes then that is an additional cost.
• etc...

To people who understand computers, upgrading your browser is simple and easy. For people who do not like or know much about computers then you may as well be asking them if they prefure the air quality on venus or mars.

If a website is designed well from the begining, symantic coding, proper use of CSS etc then to be fair IE6 isnt as big an issue as allot of people like to think but it does take experience and preparation.

[zed]

I understand the argument but it's an old one and now that MS are pulling support then it's down to the companies to get with the times regardless. Actually it's not as they only need to have the browser available for company activities.
