OK to drop IE6 support in 4.3.0 ?

I'm having some issues that I'd like a wider input on. So although
there are probably far too many opinions, I am asking this in a
wider audience than just the Xymon developer group.

The current menu-system in Xymon is not quite "Open Source" enough
for some - the licensing has always been a bit unclear (see the README
file in the ~xymon/server/www/menu/ if you doubt that). Therefore 
it would be nice to replace it with something else, and the Debian
people have provided a replacement based on CSS and plain HTML 4.

This did break a couple of other things, but I think we have that
sorted out by now.

The only remaining issue is: It doesn't work in Internet Explorer 6.
IE 7, IE 8, Firefox, Konqueror all look fine.

Since IE 7 is ok and this is available for Windows XP, I am mostly
inclined to ignore the problems with IE6. It will be possible to
install the old menu system on top of the new Xymon release, but
it would be an extra download and some manual work to do. But 
possible, if you must live with IE 6.

So - would it be OK to do this, and require IE7 as a minimum?

More and more companies, like google and youtube to name a few, are not supporting IE6 anymore, so it would be logic to follow.

There are also a lot of other reasons why somebody shouldn't use IE6 anymore:

So I totally agree in setting the minimal requirement to IE7

Hi Henrik

From what I can see, the current IE6 user base is down to 5.6%, and
dropping.
http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_explorer.asp
Time for that 5.6% to wake up to reality.

I have no hard evidence for this, but I believe that most of the people on
this list are smart technical people, who understand the valid criticism and
risks of IE6, and are probably already doing their best to avoid it.

That being said, there are still a bunch of companies (my current employer
included) who still demand IE6 on the desktop because they have some
stone-age application that just don't work without the bugs in IE6.
Fortunately, there is Firefox or Portable Apps for when I end up at a client
with locked-down desktops.
I recommend it to those of you stuck with IE6. http://portableapps.com/

And of course, as mentioned by others, if Google can dump it, why not Xymon.

Hi Henrik

 
Support for IE6 should be dropped. It is like supporting Netscape Navigator 4.... Not needed. Since Xymon is more or less not used by average desktop users I think we can safely say that the majority of the user base will actually welcome the fact that we don't support old ancient buggy software anymore. You have my vote for removing the support.

 
Regards

Neil

Top posting as I can't easily do otherwise on HTML e-mails.
 
According to
http://www.netmarketshare.com/browser-market-share.aspx?qprid=3, the
percentage of users using IE6 is actually still over 15%, and more than IE7
(at just over 10%).  However, I agree that most people here are probably
doing their best to avoid IE6, and even if they have to use it for some
things, have another browser they can use for Xymon.  I think it is OK to
drop IE6 support on 4.3.0, particularly if there is an add-on package
available to restore the old menu for anyone still using IE6.

Don't forget Safari.  It's 100% ACID compliant, so I don't see an issue, but I'd be happy to test.

SysAdmins are starting to pick up Macbook Pros in droves.  The last UNIX meeting I spoke for, more than half were on MacBooks and a little less than half of those were still running Mac OS X.  I've also noticed an increasing number of developers on Macs as well.  It's the only platform you can buy that you can run all commercial and OpenSource OSes   (Linux, Windows, and Mac) on all at once.  (i.e., one purchase, multiple platforms)

I'm happy to offer the testing for that, should we decide to go that route.

Oh, and "yeah".  Kill IE6.

I'll have the new menu-code up and running on www.xymon.com later today,
so if you could point your browser there and check it out, I would
appreciate it.

One of the things that have been problematic is the graph-zoom

Absolutely.  IE6 (and 5) were notorious for diddling html and not telling
you about it, so you could never be sure that what you were seeing were
the exact Hobbit/Xymon pages, anyway.

That is 6% of the world.  The people using Xymon are less then 6% I'm sure.
XP is the oldest OS anyone should be using which means you can use IE 8 or
9.

I say don't break 6 but don't do much of anything to make it work.

I hate to admit it, but where I work, IE 6 is still the standard.  Many vendor apps rely on it, as well as some of our internal ones.  I must image that at larger, more bureaucratic institutions, the same may be true....

However, it is a very small subset of users that view Xymon, and those are capable of remembering to launch a different/newer/standards based browser......

All the menus work as expected.
The zoom feature for individual graphs works.
I was able to generate custom report time frames.
I was also able to get the spreadsheet report as well.

It appears that all the menuing is fine.  Is there anything else you want me to look for?

I have the blue rectangle issue on my copy of Xymon, but it works fine on
www.xymon.com so it looks like the change to HTML 4 Strict (or some other
recent change) may have fixed this.

I have the blue rectangle issue on my copy of Xymon, but it works fine on
www.xymon.com so it looks like the change to HTML 4 Strict (or some other
recent change) may have fixed this.

If you make the above changes, the blue rectangle issue goes away.

Dumb (and probably .css) question:  why does the above example start with # when the css statements in the file need to start with a dot (which did in fact fix it)?

LOL...  I didn't say I understood it.  I just said it fixed it.  :-D

Fair enough, and also I may get that tattooed on my forehead.

All the menus work as expected.
The zoom feature for individual graphs works.
I was able to generate custom report time frames.
I was also able to get the spreadsheet report as well.
It appears that all the menuing is fine.  Is there anything else you =
want me to look for?
Thanks, just what I wanted to hear :-)

Since the new system works with IE 7+, Firefox, Konqueror and Safari,
I think it's A-OK for putting it into production.

Graph zoom and menus seem to work OK in Google Chrome too - well, Chromium
in Gentoo Linux, actually.
