SaveTheDevelopers.org   places a friendly popup request for IE6 users to upgrade their browsers. Internet Explorer 6 causes many an incompatibility issue. It’s too much work and, quite frankly, it is driving some programmers batty. More reason of the campaign in upgrading Internet Explorer 6 web browser as the browser statistics description. Even though the more recent version of Microsoft browser, IE7, has been around for more than two years, IE6 still represents 31 percent of all browsers out there (versus only 22 percent for IE7 and 36.5 percent for Firefox).

The goal of SaveTheDevelopers.org is to rally the development community behind the goal of reducing the number of Internet Explorer 6 browsers in use by urging users to upgrade their browsers without hindering the user experience.
By placing a simple conditional comment with a .js script in your page.tpl.php, visitors using the outdated and buggy IE6 web browser will see a small roll-down on the top of their browsers, “nagging” them to upgrade. After clicking the roll-down, a new browser window opens with links to other recommended browsers.
