03/17 - IE6 support!
17 March 2026
Well, I finally got around to getting this website to display in Internet Explorer 6 (and Internet Explorer 7). It's not a super complex website so not a lot of things worth noting but here's a few:
- Margins, margins, margins... IE6 has a different definition of margins, and so does IE7 for that matter.
- Fun with CSS conditionals. Did you know you can write "[if lte IE 6]" inside a comment tag and IE will actually use this as an if statement? This lets me pick CSS without even using any JavaScript!
- Speaking of CSS, I had to make an entirely separate file specifically for IE7! Internet Explorer 8 was a lot more standards compliant than previous versions, but IE7 has one change in its margin calculation that causes it to break with both the IE6 code and IE8 code in different ways.
So nothing really to write home about, but now you can view this website on non-updated Windows XP and Vista, or updated Windows NT, 98, and 2000. Pretty cool, I guess.
