Do we really need to support Internet Explorer(6)?

June 5th, 2009 by Sunil

I started browsing with Internet Explorer. It was in early 2000’s. At that time I thought it is the only browser which I can connect to internet. I continue using Internet Explorer till the end of 2004! Since at that time I never checked any websites in any other browser.

Things changed in the beginning of 2005. I have joined a new company. Yes! I have fall in love with Firefox.

What makes me love Firefox browser?

Is IE? Shortest JavaScript code to find whether the browser is Internet Explorer.

January 30th, 2009 by Sunil

There are a lot of JavaScript codes to find whether the user browser is Internet Explorer. But here is the shortest code to check whether the browser is Internet Explorer.

if(‘\v’==’v')

It will return true if you are using Internet Explorer.

So we can write the code like this.

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

<script type="text/javascript">
if("\v"=="v"){
	alert("This browser is Internet Explorer");
}
else{
	alert("This browser is not Internet Explorer");
}
</script>

YSlow ignores IE conditional comment

December 22nd, 2008 by Sunil

When I was checking through some site, I noticed that YSlow will not check style sheets inside the IE conditional comment. If Yslow is not considering the style sheet inside the conditional comment how we can say that site is fully optimized through YSlow. So performance grade is not reliable in this regard.
What do you think?
