Browser Playhouse: IE6 Breaks All Our Toys!

This is probably the funniest comic detailing the wretchedness of IE6 I’ve ever seen. As you know IE6 is the bane of every web designer and developer. Some people have just flat out stopped supporting it. And, it’s about time they did too. It’s 8 years old!! As a web community we need to start supporting HTML 5 and cSS 3 and look towards the future instead of supporting the past. If you’re still using IE6 at home you have no excuse. Please upgrade to IE8 or at least IE7.

Give Up and Use Tables (I think not.)

I just saw this site on reddit http://giveupandusetables.com/ and think it’s the most ridiculous thing. Do people not understand that building sites in tables causes huge problems for screen readers and semantic markup? It also hurts your site’s SEO.

Markup should always remain seperate from the style of a site. Tables are finicky and are a pain to work with. With the advent of CSS3 the layout issues you currently have will be no more. Actually, when is that coming out? I need to figure that out. I guess it won’t really matter because until IE6 is gone we’ll still be stuck with the older languages. Curse you microsoft, and curse everyone who still uses that EIGHT year old browser. Take a look here: http://iedeathmarch.org/

With that said. Screw IE6 and don’t ever build a site using tables. Tables are for tabular data and charts, that’s it!!
