The Barton Mawer site runs well in all latest versions of the most used browsers. But that overhaul made me realize its not worth spending that much time adding Internet Explorer 6 hacks in order to support this in 2006 superseded browser version.

For some reason many web developers still think its good to support the browser, and yes if you loose customers and therefore sales... I agree there!!, but this is also the evil, and that’s why there are still IE6 users out there. Dunno the real percentage but I guess its still around 10-20 percent.

Ok ok.. it feels good maybe to get a hack to work and bypass dodgy application behavior.. but c'mon IE7 has been here for two years, and IE8 is on its way... besides the security issue its time to upgrade, and in this case being a informative website it wont harm that much.

And if you are not able to comply with the Microsoft Genuine Validation tool (for whateva reason lol) in order to get the IE7 update, leave me a note and I point you to hack that.. lol its waaaaaay easier :)
