Thanks for your reply, Jim! I'm glad you agree with my comments, I thought your script was a really great approach. I don't think any of us can afford to "drop support" for IE6 yet, but this gives us a much more graceful way to provide a slightly reduced experience with an explanation.
W agree 100% with your comments. We designed IE6Update for IE6 users, and giving them a chance to upgrade to a new IE version seemed much more appropriate than trying to switch them to another browser (be it firefox/safari/chrome/etc...) We don't officially support switching out the link destination, and in fact we would discourage it, but if site owners really prefer to do that, that is their choice.
Great work! :)
