Hicham,

I can’t believe people are still using 5.5, wow! Oh well, may end badly.

Despite the availabilty of various browsers, I am still receving hits from people who came through my blog using this ‘IE’ 5.5+ so this is important for who still do so. Happy Late Thanksgiving, Frank

Jake,

My company is also behind. We still have IE6, but I only use FF.

Great insight. Wonder why my employer has yet to upgrade from IE6…is this purely a budget issue or would there be other valid reasons I am missing. Regardless, thanks for the tip.

Thanks for posting this important heads up. Although most bloggers may think that the IE users on the web have upgraded from IE6 AKA “the dog” and from IE7 to IE8, those of us who answer questions on support forums know the truth – many haven’t. Moreover, what we must do everyday is explain that leaving javascript enabled on their old IE browsers creates a huge security risk.

Best wishes to you and yours for a Happy Thanksgiving.
