Hi,
I'm working on a simple backend for a governmental department where they use IE6. The techie guy there has been pushing for an update but hasn't managed to get anywhere. I'm getting the screenshot below when I try a typical page:


Is there a template which will work ok better? The functions in the screenshot are enough to get the system working but it's not an especially nice experience for the users (who will all be on ie6).
The other thing, on export I'm getting error file db/plugins/PHPExcel/Shared/ZipStreamWrapper.php. I know this is to do with the excel2007 export but rather than recompiling php can I just remove the xls export option from the exporter?
Thanks,

Richard

You should ask to drop the support for IE6. An update to a more recent version is needed. It was released on August 27, 2001.

I've tried but it's a government department and getting them to change anything is like steering an oil tanker :-(

Richard,
we do not plan to support IE6 and, honestly, you should not as well.
In regards to export issue - you can remove Excel 2007 option from the export page. This can be done in Visual Editor.
