How it works
-
Include our small javascript notification on your website

Your browser (Internet Explorer 6) is
out of date. It has known
security flaws and may
not display all features of this and other websites.
Learn how to update your browser

By clicking the message, they will get to an info page with reasons why to update (or change) and a list of browsers available for their system.

If the visitor ignores the advice, it won't reappear for some time.
