Introduction¶

What does it do?¶

Displays a fake IE "infobar" in Internet Explorer browsers (Similar to the annoying ActiveX infobar) with user defined text and link. Could be used to try persuading IE6 users to upgrade. Customizable "Hate level", so you can decide which IE versions should display the infobar.
This Extension/Script was made after spending 6 hours trying to get an AJAX script to work correctly and play nice in IE6.
Tested in IE5.5, IE6, IE7 & IE8 with both Strict and Quirks mode.

Screenshots¶

Administration¶

Once the extension is installed, you need to include the static TypoScript of the extension, in order for the script to be activated.
Add the “I hate IE (pmkihateie)” script to the list of active scripts.

Configuration¶

The extension can be configured using the Constants editor. For more advanced configurations such as multilanguage support, you'll have to edit the TypoScript template.

Differences between this and a real infobar¶

The real infobar attaches itself to a new viewport, making it appear at the top of the browser window until the user closes it.
The fake infobar is attached to the current viewport, so when you scroll the page, the infobar scrolls too.

ChangeLog¶

02.Dec.09
Added an extra condition which checks if the version is 4.3. If it is 4.3, then it uses "jsInline" instead of "inlineJS". (The inlineJS option was renamed to jsInline in 4.3.0)
24.Nov.09
Improved the browser detection, so that IE8 in Compatibility mode doesn't show a IE7 bar. (Thanks to Paul Klimek for reporting this issue.)
23.Nov.09
Fixed for problem with TYPO3's “inlineJS” sometimes adds the JavaScript on the same line as the JS comment code, resulting in code not being executed. (Special thanks to Paul Klimek for reporting and intensive testing.)
Changed state to “Stable”
12.Sep.09
Fixed incompatibility with TYPO3 versions below v4.2. (Thanks to Mikkel Hastrup for reporting and testing)
20.Aug.09
First version.
