IE6update

In IE6, pops up a IE style dialog notifying the user that there is an update to their browser, hoping to trick the user into updating to the latest version of IE.

Description

Prompts users to upgrade if they are using the IE6 browser.
Code idea and demo:
http://ie6update.com/

Features:

• mimics the IE information bar to suggest to the user to upgrade their browser.
• links to the IE 8 update page so the user can upgrade their browser
• the message in the information bar is configurable ( future )
• the page linked to from the information bar is configurable ( future )

caveat

From a community member:
it is truly irresponsible to "trick" users into installing something.
