IE6 Will No Longer Be Supported
Thursday, February 11th, 2010
Last week Google announced that they will no longer be supporting Internet Explorer 6.
In order to continue to improve our products and deliver more sophisticated features and performance, we are harnessing some of the latest improvements in web browser technology. This includes faster JavaScript processing and new standards like HTML5. As a result, over the course of 2010, we will be phasing out support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 as well as other older browsers that are not supported by their own manufacturers.

IE Changes EPS to PS Files when Downloading
Monday, November 19th, 2007
If you plan to link directly to an .EPS or .AI file for downloading (e.g. logos, vector art, etc.) on a website, you should note that Internet Explorer doesn’t correctly handle these postscript files. If you attempt to download an .eps file with IE it will save it as a .ps file and it will save an .ai file as a .pdf. This is not a problem in Firefox or Opera.
The simple solution is to zip these types of files so IE doesn’t change the file extension, and your visitors can download them without problems.

Gaps Under Images in IE6
Sunday, June 24th, 2007
In IE6 and below, images within a div will have a gap or space below them. This is caused by the fact that images are not block elements; they’re inline. The pixels at the bottom are the space below the baseline where text descenders would go (tails on letters like g, j, p, q and y).
The Fix:
Using CSS, set display:block; on the img.
This is not a problem in IE7.
