Install bookmarklet, visit a favourite site, break it. Sit back in your chair, and remind yourself why every web designer I know loathes Internet Explorer 6 with a venom usually reserved for ex-wives and dictators. OK, I know, half the world is starving and the other half’s skint – there are more serious issues afoot. But if we’re going to sink, we may as well do it with an utterly screwed BBC home page burned on our collective retinas.
The little toy has a hilarious secondary use, I’ve discovered. Call in your friendly CSS guru to discuss a new site section he has just spent eight weeks painstakingly piecing together, and ensure you whack the IE6-replicator just before he arrives. Watch the lost, pained look on on the poor lad’s face as he sees his handiwork reduced to misaligned shite. Hours of pointless fun.
This is sort of like the Save IE6 campaign: saveie6.com
