Facebook Trumps

So what have my tests determined? The game doesn't work with IE6. The problems are twofold:

• Styles on Trumpcards all over the place, need to work out why as doesn't look right.
• Timeout on first attempt to get trump cards via RPC. Not on second.

This has been one thing which has stopped me progressing this application for a month. In honesty the other things were wanting to let it gestate for a bit and spending time doing exciting things with my lovely girlfriend.

Given my approach has been not to leave "broken windows", I needed to fix this - until Facebook came to the rescue! They are not supporting IE6 any more, recommending an update to IE7. This is great for me - if the platform does not support IE6 then there is not necessity for my application to.

What I do need however, is to have a check and then display "this browser not supported" when IE6 is found. Window not so much fixed but boarded up!
