Add option to defer upgrade

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Is it possible to add a 'do this later' option so that usage of the web
page is not totally blocked until the upgrade is done ?

We have cases where users would not know how to upgrade, or are using
public computers where they are not allowed to proceed with an upgrade.

I understand the whole point is to encourage people to upgrade, but
blocking access to the website is a bit string for us.

Regards,

Olivier

I agree on this.

You could even specify some parameters inside the script, so that people could 
tweak
the visibility of said option.
That way, and assuming webdevs have statistics on their target-audience, we 
could
indeed force the upgrade (for low percentage of IE6 users) or simply encourage 
it
without blocking the website (for sites with a high volume of IE6 users)

This would be a very useful feature. After all, In many cases certain visual 
elements will be broken in IE6 but the 
site will remain usable overall.

- every client I ever worked with asked for a button like 'Ignore the warning 
and
continue with IE6' .. 

a function for this would be : 
/*
continue = document.getElementById('continue');
continue.onclick = function(){
    msg = document.getElementById('_d');
    msg.parentNode.removeChild(msg);
    //
    bg = document.getElementById('_l');
    bg.parentNode.removeChild(bg);

};*/

Hello Zackdykes,

I've been trying to implement your suggested function but I can't get it to 
work.
Can you tell me where to copy paste your function?
Also, I'm guessing I have to remove the /* from the code before copy pasting,
but what about the semi colon at the end of your code? 

Thank you!

Anyone found a fix for this?
I don't want to deploy that to my site without having the option to "close" the 
warning 
message.
