#1182 Website rendering problem with navigation bar in IE 6

In IE 6 the navigation bar of the new website is rendered incorrectly.
- The search box is in the second row, but hidden.
- The flower in the Home link isn't displayed
- The rounded corners aren't present
- The sub nav bar is floating on top of the main nav bar
- The background color of the active tab ("Manuals") is wrong.
- The hovering effect on the sub nav bar is inferior (IMO) because all text is rendered white (when moused over) while in Firefox only the line is white.
That's what I can see.

As I was working on the CSS, I knew that it would not work with IE6, so I made a decision early on that IE6 would not be supported.
The primary problem is that IE6 does not support the child selector (>). If someone can figure out how to work around that issue, the website will look much better on IE6.

Change the LilyPond image for a "Get Firefox" Button?
Sorry, that was inappropriate ;-)

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer#Version_6 states that since 2010/03/01 Google Sites and Google Docs don't support IE6 anymore. Since 2010/03/13 IE6 isn't supported anymore by Youtube.
So it should be OK for LilyPond not to support it also?
Especially as the problem is definitely less severe than the rendering problems for IE7 in issue 1160.
Should we close the issue and stop supporting IE6?

Let's keep the issue open.
Who knows, maybe tomorrow an enthusiastic web developer/LilyPond user with expertise in cross-browser compatibility will submit a patch to fix the issue. :)
Also, as Graham noted, if anyone complains about the website being broken for IE6, we can point them to this issue.

FWIW, in the last month we had:
- 73% visits from IE 8.x
- 18% visits from IE 7.x
- 9% visits from IE 6.x
- 0% visits from IE 5.x
(rounded to the nearest %)
IE was 16% of our overall views, so 1.5% of our visitors use IE 6.
