HOWTO Not Worry About IE6 Ever Again

While IE6 market share is dwindling, we are far from being out of the woods yet. Gecko, Trident, WebKit and Blink, are likely to never convirge on a full implementation of W3C specifications, leaving some browsers more equal than others.

Not to worry though, there is a nice little script called Modernizr, that can auto-detect features of a browser and automatically load fixes for browsers that don't have the technologies you need.

Shortlist of Features Modernizr Can Detect

  • HTML5 Canvas
  • IndexedDB
  • WebWorkers
  • Lots of CSS3 Stuff
  • Geolocation
  • WebSockets
