Technical reference for identifying and removing Internet Explorer 6 CSS and JavaScript compatibility patterns from legacy codebases.
All IE6 patterns documented here can be safely removed from modern codebases. IE6 usage is effectively zero. After removal, test to ensure no accidental side effects (some hacks like zoom: 1 occasionally fixed unrelated issues).
Problem IE6 incorrectly treated as if it had a parent element in the DOM, allowing html to match. Standards-compliant browsers correctly ignore this selector since html is the root element.
