How can I display a message to users on LT IE8 encouraging them to upgrade their browser for a better web experience? I only want the message to appear on their first visit, not every time they refresh the page.
Is there a solution for this issue?
Thank you in advance!
To remember that the alert has been acknowledged, consider storing a cookie. This can be achieved through document.cookie, or utilizing various JavaScript libraries available for simpler implementation.
It's worth noting that alerts can be disruptive and bothersome. Users are more likely to have a positive experience (and thus increase their willingness to switch browsers) if you opt for a less invasive approach, such as an in-page banner.
Having a notification constantly popping up can be distracting, especially if you're not confident in your actions (such as excluding IE8 users) and accidentally triggering Compatibility View, which could lead even IE10 users to receive the message targeted at IE8 users.
Here is an alternative approach to consider:
<!--[if lte ie 8]>
<p>Your browser version is outdated. Please consider updating.</p>
<![endif]-->
In conjunction with:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
Cookies can be utilized to enhance user experience. Once a cookie is stored, there is no need to repeatedly notify users; however, if the cookie has not been set, a notification should be displayed. In modern HTML5 browsers, data can also be saved directly on the browser, allowing the storage of important information for future reference.
To prevent the pop-up from appearing every time, you can save a variable as a cookie and trigger the pop-up only if the cookie is not found. Another option is to store visitor information in a database and determine if it's their initial visit to the page.
Adding the IE6 countdown upgrade notification could be a beneficial consideration. I recently implemented it on the website I manage, and simply modified the code to check for if lte IE 7 instead of if lt IE 7
