Hi,

How can I remove that big IE6 banner that keeps popping up in IE?

I know there’s a checkbox to remove it, but I need that banner gone.

Thank you

to completely remove you need to do the following

1. in the templatesja_teline_iiilayoutsdefault.php
find this at the end just before </body>

<?php if ($this->isIE6()) : ?>
<?php $this->loadBlock('ie6/ie6warning') ?>
<?php endif; ?>


and delete it…

now you will see a blank space being left out at top

for that open this file – templatesja_teline_iiicssie.css

find this >

*html #ja-wrapper { margin-top: 205px; }

here change margin top from current 205 to 0px …this should remove the IE bar completely

I can’t find the above

This what I have for templatesja_teline_iiicssie.css

#ja-left .ja-l2 .ja-left1, #ja-left .ja-l2 .ja-left2,
#ja-right .ja-r2 .ja-right1, #ja-right .ja-r2 .ja-right2 { width: 49.99%; }

#ja-left .ja-l2 .ja-left2, #ja-right .ja-r2 .ja-right2 { float: right; }

#ja-container.ja-l2 .main { background: url(../images/dot-1pxfix.gif) repeat-y 40% 0 #fff; }

#ja-container.ja-r2 .main { background: url(../images/dot-1pxfix.gif) repeat-y 60% 0 #fff; }
#ja-container.ja-r1 .main { background: url(../images/dot-1pxfix.gif) repeat-y 80% 0 #fff; }

.ja-zinfp-featured { width: 49.99%; background-image: none; }

.cols2 .article_column { width: 49.99%; }
.cols3 .article_column { width: 33.3%; }
.cols4 .article_column { width: 24.99%; }
.cols5 .article_column { width: 19.99%; }

/* clearfix ---*/
#ja-subnav ul, ul.pagination li span, ul.pagination a, #ja-footnav,
.counter span, .contentdescription, .leading {
zoom: 1;
}

#ja-footnav {
width: 100%;
}

hmm…surprising…

my file has this after .cols5 .articlecolumn…

*html #ja-wrapper { margin-top: 205px; }

if you do not have it in your css file…add this

*html #ja-wrapper { margin-top: 0px; }


only if you see a blank space on top in IE6

The pop-up banner could be a good issue. Still, about 20% of my site’s visitors use IE6. My question is how to make the pop-up banner smaller (fonts, icons etc.)?

I agree here, a smaller banner would be better. Good idea.

However – I’m using IE7, why is it popping up? Shouldn’t it be displaying only in IE6?

Yes, it should appear only in IE6


<?php if ($this->isIE6()) : ?>
<?php $this->loadBlock('ie6/ie6warning') ?>
<?php endif; ?>


In what version of EI7 it appears for you?

Hi, I did the above. Unfortunately the space is still there. And in IE7. It has been checked in a few machines all running IE7. :((

Hello,

*html #ja-wrapper { margin-top: 205px; }
It is in template-version1.3 (…css/ie.css), but not any more in version 1.4

In fact code for this option in template appears to be rewritten in version 1.4
To modify in 1.3 you can follow user prbalge.
To modify the warning you could make changes to file layouts/blocks/ie6/ie6warning.php
This file opens with a div-tag:

<div style="" id="ie6-warning" class="wrap">
So selector is #ie6-warning.
This selector is styled in file typo.css (template-version 1.3)

But in template-version 1.4 there is an extra file in directory blocks/ie: ie6warning.css
And above all: ie6warning.php is rewritten.
It seems you can now configure different options in this file:

define ('SHOW_IE6_WARNING', 'close');
/*
Setting for this message. Clear cookie if you change this setting.
'none': Not show warning
'once': Show one time only
'close': Show until user check box "Not show again" and close the message
'always': Always show this message
*/

I cannot test it now, but hope it helps finding the path.

(@ davidrabinov: in my IE7, same version, no warning shown)

I would like to know how to remove the entire banner.

Below is a screenshot. I’m using IE7

If you are using template-version 1.4 you could try modifying file ie6warning.php (layouts/blocks/ie6/ie6warning.php)

It opens with lines

define ('SHOW_IE6_WARNING', 'close');
/*
Setting for this message. Clear cookie if you change this setting.
'none': Not show warning
'once': Show one time only
'close': Show until user check box "Not show again" and close the message
'always': Always show this message
*/

So I guess you only have to change first line in:

define ('SHOW_IE6_WARNING', 'none');

As I said earlier: at the moment I cannot test it in a local installation.

Regards,
Micrantha

Thanks for the hint!

My question to JA – if it’s now cofigurable by setting SHOW_IE6_WARNING value in ie6warning.php, could it be an option at template back-end configuration page?
