I'm generally ashamed of how far behind most of the norwegian sites are in comparison to the rest of the world
But finally we did something right.
This week our largest online market, finn.no, started a campaign to end ie6 and at the same time challenged all the other large websites in Norway to do the same.
This campaign have now spread like fire on twitter, lots of other countries followed up our example.
All you have to do to join in on the campaign is copy/paste the following code snippet on to your site.
<!--[ if lte IE 6]>
<style type="text/css">
# ie6msg (border: 3px solid # 090; margin: 8px 0; background: # CFC; color: # 000;)
# ie6msg h4 (margin: 8px; padding: 0;)
# ie6msg p (margin: 8px; padding: 0;)
# ie6msg p a.getie7 (font-weight: bold; color: # 006;)
# ie6msg p a.ie6expl (font-weight: normal; color: # 006;)
</ style>
<div id="ie6msg">
