Please don’t take this video post for anything more than it is… a 30 minute creative break for Jones and I. We’re just blowing off steam on a topic near and dear to the heart of most web developers, nothing more, nothing less. If you have a video cam and need to blow off some IE6 steam as well, we invite you to post your own IE6 Eulogy and link to it from this post’s discussion thread. Or just write a eulogy. And while debugging IE6 is indeed cause for lots of cursing, please keep it PG if you link to it from our thread.
Also, Jones wants me to make sure and note a critical error in my eulogy. I refer to Eric Meyer as Meyers. My humble apologies to Eric. Also, I should note that I’ve had exactly three meaningful interactions with Jeffrey Zeldman and my referring to him as “grumpy” is an outright deception. He is, in fact, quite personable from my brief experience. Never-the-less, that beanie on his book does make him look grumpy, no?
Next week we’ll try and do something useful for new EE users.
Although i want to go to DIV-ititus, table-less designs, today i had to make a FLV-player inside a table jusst because IE6 refuses to obey CSS. Sadly, many governmental institutions (here in Holland) use older machines with the-dreaded-one…. Thankx for the video, may The foX live with FiRe
edit:also commemorating my avatar. CI to EE-transition
Ah - I finally got it. Didn’t work at last attempt on my XP desktop, but it did on my new laptop with Vista - once I installed the FF QT plug in (still “moving in”).
Coming to think of it, what are your thoughts on the other
funeral at hand… the one for PHP4 ? And does this influence EE ? ———- PHP 4 end of life announcement
... three years ago since PHP 5 has been released!
From december 31, 2007 on, no more new 4.x versions and
on August 8th, 2008 (888), the plug will definitely be pulled for four,
with not even anymore SECURITY fixes… ————
Also there’s an initiative by some web-app developers
(like phpMyAdmin) to GoPHP5.org...

You have no idea how many blog entries Paul and I have written and deleted on that very topic. Maybe someday we’ll actually publish one of them, heh.
haha, ouch, yes, i can image the can the can of worms such a blog-post would open…
The transition to php5 is just beginning, but it will include ISP’s screaming, coders screaming,
and users screaming even harder…
