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......

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. On Oct 22, 2010 5:29 AM, "Vernon Everett" <everett.vernon at gmail.com<mailto:everett.vernon at gmail.com>> wrote:
