Lili,

There may be some compatibility issues with other plugins, though we haven’t run into any yet.

How are you testing this plugin? I’m finding that these new IE6 testers are not true representations of the original browser. If you want to turn on the plugin I’ll give it a look here and can send over a screen shot for verification. The real question is how important is this plugin, the number of IE6 users is dwindling quickly so I question it’s usefulness. You might take a look at the stats on your website to determine how relevant it still is.

Hello, this seems to be a really great plugin but i can’t make it work at all in wordpress 3.2. It installs correctly but ie does not give me any warning, even in multibrowser mode.
Do you know of any compatibility issues? How can i see if the js is loaded in explorer?

Yannick,

Not at this time, the code determines what browser the user is running and highlights that icon for download. If a user decides to upgrade more than likely we will see that user update their current browser shying away from learning new software. They tend to feel more comfortable with what they already know.

Hello and thanks a lot for this cute plugin.
I managed to configure almost all options i wanted to but I can’t figure how to change the highlighted choice in warning.js

I’d like to highlight firefox choice event if the visitor come from ie.

Is there a way to to that?
Thanks in advance, Yannick

James,

This is an excellent idea and will be included in the next release.

Adding and removing the slashes made the logo on my site disappear. Perhaps I did it incorrectly, particularly on the last part:

// Would you like to use the pop up warning for browsers other than IE6?
// If yes, then comment out the function below
// Only display the code within Internet Explorer Browser

Can we just have a file that we can use for IE7?

Adnan,

Can you see the plugin working on this site through IE Tester and is the plugin currently activated on your website, I’m not seeing any indication that it is. Try this, turn on the plugin without modifications and shoot me an email (info@).

James,

Adding a line comment makes the code unreadable. Follow the instructions throughout the code and either add “//” or remove them as indicated.

A Commented Line:
//class ie6option {

An Uncommented Line:
class ie6option {
