Generally, this translates to providing a separate style sheet – with all the necessary hacks and edits — needed to keep Internet Explorer 6 from mangling an otherwise beautiful layout. I know that as long as there a broad range of users to cater to, the effort is required.

A slow but growing consensus of web developers is beginning to abandon support for IE6. I agree with the vocal majority that if you believe you have a user base with need for continued support, by all means offer it. Otherwise, drop support and never look back.

That said, I take a small drop of satisfaction in stating this site will not make any more effort than needed to support Internet Explorer 6. Take a minute to upgrade or download the latest Firefox.
