What version are you talking about and what doesn't work?

CMSMS doesn't support IE6 which is a very old browser.
See Requirements http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... quirements

But you can always build a new stylesheet just for IE6 if that's the issue

Btw next time you ask a question please post more info about CMSMS.
You can read about it here http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 661.0.html

The backend might not support IE6, but the site compatibility with IE6 all depends on the HTML, CSS and JavaScript that the user puts into it. All my CMSMS sites work on IE6.

Of all the hundreds of web sites/templates I've built never has IE6,7,8 given me that error/pop up...

I would change the DOCTYPE to transitional and fix the invalid html before hacking into the core files...

Just because you haven't seen the error before doesn't mean it doesn't exist!

The problem is with the SWFObject code, it doesn't work properly on IE6 if the base tag isn't closed (see: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/faq - question 4).

If the base tag is needed, the only way to fix it is to change the metadata plugin so it produces the correct IE conditional comments.

Alternatively, it can be turned off with {metadata showbase='false'}.

Maybe using the Object tag would help, it says stale but still works fine...
