Net-Cake likes to provide its readers with ways to get jobs done easier, quicker, and better. For our very FIRST free downloadable content, we are giving you a template for the IE Caution Tape.
As mentioned in an earlier post, one method of fighting Internet Explorer, is putting a simple bar at the top of the page warning users that their browser is out of date. This is a very simple unobtrusive way to notify your users that their browsing experience could be better if they switched browsers. The thing with a lot of Internet Explorer users is that they don’t know how badly their choice of browser affects the web developer. There are even some who don’t know that other browser choices exist.
Simply add this markup and CSS to your text design, and any users using IE7 and below will see a black and yellow strip of caution tape across the top of their screen.
I hope you enjoy using it, and find this method of IE fighting as effective as I have.
