Phew! IE 6 Support...

F
inally! Now my little site "works" with the archaic headache-generating browser a.k.a Internet Explorer 6! It is not perfect but at least a basic level of functionality is has been reached.

Now the site works with every "big boy" browser out there.

I had to download Opera for linux to check out how this page would look like in that browser, and to my surprise it worked! They had packages for Ubuntu Efty/Fiesty but only for the i386 architecture though. This was easily circumvented by forcing it on to the system:

dpkg --force-architecture -i opera_9.22-20070716.6-shared-qt_en_i386.deb

As long as you have the apropriate 32bit-libraries - it should work.
