 Posted: Mon May 30, 2011 7:12 am Post subject: IE 6 and making websites for Koreans |
 |
|
I"m fairly new to web design and made a website recently for my photography here.
I'm also helping another business here with their website.
However Koreans and their blasted IE 6 support is making me cry. My websites look beautiful in PNG format and look like crap with transparent .gifs
I've noticed nearly every PC bang and workplace computer run IE6. Are home computers at east running IE 7 and up?
I don't wanna go the flash route. How are the CSS workaround hacks for PNG files? Do they work okay?
If you thought active X was bad, try designing a site for koreans. No wonder they all use flash. |

| Let's also mention that the script-heavy nature of Korean websites are making things worse. |

| I doubt Korea will be migrating to IE7 anytime soon. Tough luck for designers. But why do you not want to use flash? Decent stuff. Oh and protip for designing websites for Koreans, make sure it's cluttered as hell and has every possible bit of info all on the homepage. lol |

| Because Flash is a buggy resource hog. |

Don't forget the popups! They probably never update flash either. |

Back home, I always used Firefox. Here most of the websites, including my school's aren't compatible, though fortunately Chrome works. Which means that I can't use Flashblock, and have to manually crash the Flash plugin every-so-often so my school's website doesn't bring my computer to a halt (and I've got two gigs of memory).

Aside from the resource issues though, it makes it impossible for the user to do anything with the text on the site. You can't copy it, and more importantly you can't use Google Translate on it. It makes one of the nice features of Chrome (the automatic translation) useless and is really frustrating when sites like the "Daegu Foreign Language Instructors' Association" are available only in Korean.
