HTML 5 Doctype and IE 6

早过忘川 提交于 2019-11-30 00:13:37
I often see this doctype declaration on some pages that I am viewing <!DOCTYPE html> I made some soft research and this is HTML 5 doctype declaration. Modern browsers can interpret this and would force to operate on Standards Mode. My question is, some of my target users are still using IE6. How will IE6 responds when I declare such doctype declaration.? Will I gain any benefit or loss in that case? Thanks. Short answer: the HTML5 doctype works fine in IE6. Longer answer: see Henri Sivonen's comprehensive research of the effects of different doctypes on different browsers. There are no

I've decided not to cater for IE6 - What tasty CSS treats can I use? [closed]

Ok firstly, this is not a discussion on whether I should be catering for IE6. I'm sure there's hundreds of threads on S.O. where you can discuss the pros, cons, market shares, javascript shivs and all the other stuff that comes with it. Let's say I've put two fingers up to IE6 and am ignoring its existence - what can I now do differently in the way I style my pages? Pseudo-selectors? Parent/Child selectors? Other tidy stuff? What are the new freedoms that come with abandoning IE6? I know some of you will be itching to tell me why i should support ie6 or about js fixes that mean I can use

Jquery IE6 hover problems, keeps loading background image

自古美人都是妖i 提交于 2019-11-29 17:42:17
Take a look at this page: http://pearl.tinderfields.com/ In IE6 the menu's background image loads every time the user hovers over a menu item, which is obviously making a very rubbish looking menu. Is there any special reason as to why IE6 would re-load the image on every hover?

How to style <input type=“text”> in IE6 CSS?

时光怂恿深爱的人放手 提交于 2019-11-29 16:50:42
问题 Is there any elegant way of applying a certain style to all <input type="text"> elements under IE6? I can do it with some JavaScript, but I was wondering if there was a more elegant way of doing it. Note - I cannot apply a certain class to all textboxes by hand. And I'd like to avoid CSS expressions. 回答1: AFAIK, IE6 does not support attribute selectors, so I think the answer is no. You'd have to use one of the following: Add a common class attribute to all <input type="text"/> elements. Use

Resume batch script after computer restart

南楼画角 提交于 2019-11-29 15:47:35
问题 I have a bunch of old machines running Windows 2000 Pro and IE 5.0 which I want to upgrade to IE 6 with Silverlight. I downloaded the IE6 and Silverlight installers from Microsoft's web sites and fortunately they both have command line options to allow them to run in "silent mode". I put the two commands in a DOS batch script and ran it, but the IE6 installer requires makes an automatic computer restart so the question is how to resume the script and run the 2nd command (install Silverlight).

Should I support IE6? [duplicate]

坚强是说给别人听的谎言 提交于 2019-11-29 14:37:59
Possible Duplicate: Ethical Dilemma: Should I still cater for IE6 as a web-developer. 5% of IE users last month use IE6. So I am curious if people think I should support it....because I haven't been. http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_explorer.asp I wouldn't..Its not worth your time and effort for 5%. What is your product or service? What percentage of conversions come from that 5% of ie users? What percentage would come from those users if your site had better support for their browser? If you answer those questions, you won't have to ask anybody else whether you should support IE6

Link styling behaviour in IE6

萝らか妹 提交于 2019-11-29 12:10:05
I came across this issue when testing a stylesheet across different browsers, including IE6 (yes, I know..) <head> <style> a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:active { font-weight: bold; color: #000; text-decoration: underline } .myclass a { color: red; text-decoration: none; } </style> </head> <body> <p>This is a <a href="1">test</a></p> <div class="myclass"> <p>This is a <a href="2">test</a></p> </div> </body> Results: In IE6, the .myclass a rule only applies to the unvisited link state In other browsers (FF, Chrome), the .myclass a rule applies to all link states I believe that IE6 is wrong and

Z-Index problems with IE6 and html <select> element

回眸只為那壹抹淺笑 提交于 2019-11-29 12:06:31
I have a <div> that opens up on a jquery hover event (display goes from hidden to block ). Sometime it's opens up over some form elements. And of course it works fine in all browsers except IE6. <select> boxes bleed through as if there z-index is higher than the <div> tag. I've tried setting the <div> tag with a higher z-index, but it still gets ignored by IE6. I'm hoping to implement any fix -- jquery or css, I really don't care at this point. Any ideas? You need the bgiframe plugin. As far as I know, there is no simple workaround for this (see this MSDN blog entry ). I know only clever but

Using the IE8 'Developer Tools' to debug earlier IE versions

三世轮回 提交于 2019-11-29 10:57:02
I am less than satisfied in my HTML/CSS/JS debugging of pages with IE6 and 7 specific bugs. I am aware that IE8 has a Firebug clone, called 'Developer Tools' installed. Is it possible to have IE8 installed (maybe on a VM, i don't mind), set it to compatibility mode (is there one for IE6?), then perform JS debugging and live HTML changes, using the IE8 Developer Tools , just like we can in Firebug? many many thanks mieze There are differences between native IE6/7 and the IE8 compatibility mode: http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2009/03/12/site-compatibility-and-ie8.aspx The best option I've
