For years I've only ever developed pretty simple html and css, (I'm a back end code monkey by employment, we have much better guys to do the front end). So I've always been slightly closed to the complaints about IE6, but now I feel your pain (my pain), it is very real.
We've got a shortage of UI developers at work, so I've just spent a week living and breathing CSS to come up with a beautiful layout for an online tool. It's a closed tool, it'll only be used by our clients, not the public, but I still went to great trouble to make it compliant and accessible. And, if I may say so myself, it's damn good. And it renders perfectly in Firefox, IE7, Opera and even Safari, I tested each of them as I went along.
But in IE6 <sobs> It's a complete disaster. My dog could do better (and it looks like he's eaten it, and shat it all over IE6 just to prove his point). And I've just been told that our biggest client has got about 200 terminals, all need to use this tool, and all of them are running IE6 on Windows 2000 <more sobs> It's just not fair <bawls like a little girl>
Sniff - anyone know of any good sites with tips on how to salvage the site in IE6 without breaking it on any of the others?
At the moment I'm tempted to dynamically force a different style sheet for IE6, and just start again from scratch <ugh> There has to be a better way?
