I suggest you to add Google analytics to your website.
It will give your some data of how many users come to your site with
IE6 as well as other browsers.
It is free and easy to use.

Give you some idea: for our site, I see 8% of users use IE6. As we
Since you have multimillion users, you would help getting rid of those IE6
by letting them know to consider upgrading and telling them how to do that.
There's a proportion of them that only don't know that there's something
else out there and I think we could increase the changing rate by a little
One little trick you can use is use firebug to inspect the table you
want to experiment with and copy it's html to a flat html file and
open the html file with IE and play around with it till you get it
right. The trick is to get the html how you want it, then roll the
changes into the java code
Hi Magnus,
I do it like this:
public static native String getUserAgent() /*-{
return navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
}-*/;
public void onModuleLoad() {
if (MyMainClass.getUserAgent().contains(msie 6.0)) {
You could also use that strategie that is only viable with Internet
Explorer.

Hi,
I would not spend the time.
IE6 is primary used by companies using old software not willing to
upgrade. It is a pain to support IE6 and such customer do not pay for
service.
Your customers are rather private. You could expect from them to
download a modern browser like FF or Chrome.

Hi,
sorry for repeating:
I thought that the promise of GWT was that one never ever has to deal
with such problems anymore?
Why are we discussing about wether to spent time in supporting IE6
while the GWT compiler should do this?

GWT doesn't promise to make your application look the same on all browsers.
It does try its very best to make sure that the JS it produces functions the

I agree with you, but there's still the issue of when your application

they have, or install the Google Chrome Frame plugin (+1).

Hi Lineman!
Make sure you specifically set cellpadding and cellspacing to
0 (IE assumes non-zero for one of these, don't remember which).
I already found out something: First, I only set the margin/padding
values to 0 in the Java code, wich worked on browsers other than IE6.
Then, I *also* set
Do it with old natural ways in the html host file.

Most large corporations in the US still use IE6 as the primary browser
and XP as the primary OS. My company just recently approved the
regular use of FF, but you must request it and it is several versions
behind the latest. Chrome is regularly rejected. Some computers on
