			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In memory of (the <a href="http://www.forevergeek.com/2009/06/internet_explorer_6_still_hanging_out_in_the_wild/">nearly dead</a>) Internet Explorer 6 comes this nifty little piece of JavaScript that will wreak havoc with your web page, turning it into a pile of unreadable junk that even Steve Ballmer would be proud of.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/ie6ify-logo.png"><img style=' display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;'  src="http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/ie6ify-logo-540x97.png" alt="ie6ify logo 540x97 IE6IFY and totally bork your website" title="ie6ify-logo" width="540" height="97" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-13719" /></a></p>
<p>The <a href="http://elbertf.com/ie6ify/">IE6IFY</a> site proudly proclaims: &#8220;After years of observation and reverse engineering I am proud to say I have been able to reproduce the IE6 algorithm to break even the most standards-compliant websites.&#8221;</p>
<p>Before I show you the results, here&#8217;s the piece of code that does the damage:</p>
<p><span id="more-13712"></span></p>
<p><code>javascript:(function(){var i=0,r=function(n){return Math.floor(Math.random()*n)},f=document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].getElementsByTagName('*'),o=function(e){return typeof(e.style)=='object'&#038;&#038;e.tagName!='SCRIPT'},s=function(){while(!o(e=f[r(f.length)])){}return e.style};while(i++<5){s().display=r(2)?'block':'inline';s().position=r(2)?'absolute':'relative';s().margin=r(2)?'0':'1em';s().padding=r(2)?'0':'1em';s().width=r(2)?'':'auto';}})();</code></p>
<p>Whack that into your browser's toolbar and then hit it repeatedly when viewing your (least) favorite web site.</p>
<p>Here's what happens to Forever Geek:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/forever-geek-normal.png"><img style=' display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;'  src="http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/forever-geek-normal-540x365.png" alt="forever geek normal 540x365 IE6IFY and totally bork your website" title="forever-geek-normal" width="540" height="365" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-13713" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/forever-geek-mashed.png"><img style=' display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;'  src="http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/forever-geek-mashed-540x354.png" alt="forever geek mashed 540x354 IE6IFY and totally bork your website" title="forever-geek-mashed" width="540" height="354" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-13714" /></a></p>
<p>And Gadzooki:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/gadzooki-normal.png"><img style=' display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;'  src="http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/gadzooki-normal-540x367.png" alt="gadzooki normal 540x367 IE6IFY and totally bork your website" title="gadzooki-normal" width="540" height="367" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-13715" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/gadzooki-mashed.png"><img style=' display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;'  src="http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/gadzooki-mashed-540x349.png" alt="gadzooki mashed 540x349 IE6IFY and totally bork your website" title="gadzooki-mashed" width="540" height="349" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-13716" /></a></p>
<p>And of course Microsoft can't be allowed to get away with it:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/microsoft-normal.png"><img style=' display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;'  src="http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/microsoft-normal-540x375.png" alt="microsoft normal 540x375 IE6IFY and totally bork your website" title="microsoft-normal" width="540" height="375" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-13717" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/microsoft-mashed.png"><img style=' display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;'  src="http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/microsoft-mashed-540x300.png" alt="microsoft mashed 540x300 IE6IFY and totally bork your website" title="microsoft-mashed" width="540" height="300" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-13718" /></a></p>
<p>Anyone tried it in IE6?</p>
