I would like to disable the IE6 “Out of Date” warning that pops up at the top of the screen.
Where can I do this? I don’t see it in the plugin or module sections.

Thanks

hi,

that has been coded into the template…if you see any layout > template>jateline3>layouts
choose any layout> default, default 1 or 1colum
if you go to the bottom of the page…
you see the like if IE6…. that addeds the code.

The IE6 file which it adds from the code and which writes the actual look which you see in IE6 is this file

> template>jateline3>layouts>blocks>ie6>ie6warning.php

I do not have IE6 so what you can do is from the ie6warning.php remove the entire div and see if it solves your problem…
thanks

Thanks prbalge,
Removing the code within the <Div> removes the IE Warning, but the space that it occupied remains. I have also tried removing code under the layout > default layouts folder with the same results.

This is a huge intrusion on the user, and there should be a better way of enabling or disabling this without having to fish through code. There are plugins available that will allow the simple activation or deactivation of this feature. Why not incorporate one of these plugins into this template instead of forcing this feature on us.

Still searching for an answer…

Just remove the…

<?php if ($this->isIE6()) : ?>
<?php $this->loadBlock('ie6/ie6warning') ?>
<?php endif; ?>
…fron the botom of the layout files, default.php, etc.

question

why would you remove it, the template not only does not work in IE6, but most extensions will crash also

Scotty,

I have already tried that. Although it does remove the warning, it leaves a blank space where the warning use to be, instead of pulling the header up to the top of the page.

mj1256: This popup is too intrusive in my opinion. The first thing new users using IE 6 will see is what appears to be a pop, and will discourage them from using my site. I could understand if this happens only once, and any re-visits, it doesn’t happen, but it happens each time a IE6 user visits the site. Its a distraction and it discourages users from using the site. I’m not in the habit of dictating to regular users (users just using the site without providing input) what browser they should be using to view my site. However, once you become a member of the site, and submit content, I will tell you what browsers are best to achieve a optimum experience.

Also, so far, I have been testing this with IE6, and aside from not having the ability to browse down to the bottom of the member popup, everything works well.

You have to keep in mind, a large number of users continue to use IE6 http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp
You can’t just dismiss these numbers.

Hi

The line goes down in all browsers not only IE. The only thing is that in IE it goes down half way to the logo while in FF it goes all the way down to just above the menu.

This problem is occurring because you have added a
<div class=”bannergroup”>

I think rather than creating your own module position u can use the ja-search module position

That would bring the banner down and solve your problem

Could you be more specific about exactly which files to remove this code from?
Thanks.

I’ve removed the ie6 popup, but my mod_janewsticker and mod_jamegamenu are not displaying properly at the top of my site in IE. Everything looks fine in FF and Chrome. My demo site is http://www.mymetamora.com. Does someone have an idea of what they may be conflicting with?

Thanks ahead of time,
Eric
