When Internet Explorer version 6 (IE6) was introduced in 2001 it was a groundbreaking product but browsers were then being developed so fast that it was soon overtaken by others which conformed better with web standards. IE6 quickly became the butt of authors' humour but, in spite of this, 8 years later it is still widely deployed and, although numbers are reducing, its final demise may well be some way off. Consequentially authors still need to design sites that will give visitors using IE6 an acceptable experience.

It fixes many HTML and CSS issues and makes transparent PNG work correctly under IE5 and IE6. Now there is also a version vor IE8.

The first three of these can be corrected by the use of a second script ie7-squish.js which is also included in the library.
