How to disable your blog for all versions of Internet Explorer
August 14th, 2008 . by polygeek
I’ve disabled my blog - temporarily - for all versions of Internet Explorer. Why, just to protest the involvement that Microsoft had in the dumping of ECMA4. And, because they’re Microsoft and I like to pick on them.
All I did was add this Javascript code to the header.php file of my Wordpress theme:
if (/MSIE (\d+\.\d+);/.test(navigator.userAgent)){ //test for MSIE x.x;
window.location="http://polygeek.com/dIE.htm";
}
This has no effect on RSS readers and I don’t really care. It’s just a statement. I know this doesn’t hurt Microsoft but you never know. Enough people start doing this it will make a difference. And any little thing I can do that might impact Microsoft in a negative way, even slightly, is worth it. Now it’s personal.
Awesome dude! I’ve felt innovation and progress in the air lately, and this takes a stab at all that and it really is personal.
Remind me not to get you mad at me! lol
