I have recently been getting mildly irritated at all of the "Just don't code for Internet Explorer 6 and people will stop using it" blog entries I've been seeing lately. I consider it a huge problem in the mentality of a designer when they disregard a large portion of visitors and/or customers. No disrespect to Nick La, but simply "giving up" on IE6 is not (at this time) a viable solution, especially because IE6 still has the largest user base.
The fact is, IE6 is not that hard to code for, as long as you have a good understanding of Semantic XHTML, you shouldn't have much of a problem. In this post, I'm going to outline some of the steps you can take to reduce the time it takes to develop your pages for Internet Explorer 6.
