 I am finally to begin to stop supporting IE6 starts from 2011 as the usage
 has fallen below 5%. I don't want the IE6 users to see a broken page due to
 no special treatment made for the browser, rather, I would like them to see
 an un-styled page as if the style sheet has switch off.

 Can this be done?

 Thanks!

Re: [WSG] A simple IE and JS detection method?

[Ty Hatch]

Take it you pulled this from HTML5 Boilerplate's latest update. Reading
through Paul Irish's comments on the update (
http://paulirish.com/2008/conditional-stylesheets-vs-css-hacks-answer-neither/)
the change makes sense.

  Hi All,



 I was wondering if you had a little time to comment on the following
 technique?



 !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN 
 http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd;

 !--[if IE]

   ![if gt IE 8]html lang=en-gb class=gtIE8 xml:lang=en-gb xmlns=
 http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml;![endif]

   ![if IE 8]html lang=en-gb class=IE8 xml:lang=en-gb xmlns=
 http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml;![endif]

   ![if IE 7]html lang=en-gb class=IE7 xml:lang=en-gb xmlns=
 http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml;![endif]

   ![if IE 6]html lang=en-gb class=IE6 xml:lang=en-gb xmlns=
 http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml;![endif]

 ![endif]--

 !--[if !IE]!--html lang=en-gb class=xIE xml:lang=en-gb xmlns=
 http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml;!--![endif]--

  script
 type=text/javascript/*![CDATA[*/document.documentElement.className+=
 hasJS;/*]]*//script



 ... yada ...



 style type=text/css

 body {background:#ccc; color:#000}

 .IE8 body {background:#fcc;}

 .IE7 body {background:#cfc;}

 .IE6 body {background:#ccf;}

 .xIE body {background:#fff;}

 /style



 ... yada ...





 Not thoroughly tested I admit but it appears reasonable.

 The only failure I can see is detecting IEv6 and JS on because:



 .IE6.hasJS {background:#f000}



 will not work as IE 6 cannot concatenate class names.



 What do you think?
