IE6Warning Error Message

This jquery plugin when bound to a div, will show that div to users with ie6 browsers only. The div is clickable, which will result in a cookie being set advising the user has understood the message, which will not show again for 20 days.

Simple Enough?

How to use

Simply,
Create a div, that'll show a message

<style>
    #ie6Message {
        width: 100%;
        height: 20px;
        border-bottom: 1px solid #929384;
        font: 1em/1.5 Arial, sans-serif;
        text-decoration: none;
        background: url('img/attention_ie6_shield.gif') top left no-repeat #fffee6;
    }

    #ie6Message#cross {
        padding: 2px 0 0 10px;
    }
</style>

<div id="ie6Message" style="display: none">
    <img src="/img/common/attention_ie6_shield.gif" id="cross"/>
    We recognise your browser (Internet Explorer 6) is outdated, we recommend you update to a later version
    <a id="ie6MessageCloseButton" href="#"><img src="/img/common/attention_ie6_close.gif" id="shield" /></a>
</div>

Then bind IE6Warning to the div.

$(document).ready(function() {<br />
    $('#ie6Message').ie6warning();<br />
});<br />

And done.
