.. to read the list of the 22c3 speakers.

Yes go away

As described the IE will crash with a stack overflow because of multiple SSL authentifications which will fail if they try to see the list of speakers.

Try it out, if you have one installed:

Thanks ak for the hint.

Please don't fix this SSL stuff, good method to keep them away from the congress

Hi,
if you want to keep IE users off, there is a simple method. Try building your navigation list with the html 4 (and above) tag "button":
----------------- snip -----------------------------

Go there

----------------- snap ---------------------------

Although this is pretty legal, ind in terms of semantic markup 100% correct, and althouch the IE shows the target url in the status bar when hovering with the mouse pointer, the IE won't simply do it. no chance. If you want to allow IE visitors, you have to double the navigation inside the button with a JavaScript handler. And still, if JavaScript then is disabled, IE users will not be able to navigate through these links.

Tested with IE 5.x
Have Fun

Sorry, the blog soft killed the markup. Preview showed the markup, but the final version is without. If you want an example, you may look at the source of my HP.

Sorry
