I am trying to find a good way to notify visitors to our site to upgrade from IE6 to get full functionality. I see lots of this in use. Anyone know a good source for it?

You could put an conditional comment in for ie6. Or you could do it by checking the user agent string.

There's a few methods specific to IE6, you can get started here then style them whatever way you want...but those are the basic triggers that only IE6 will run.

I'd be amiss if I didn't recommend you read this SO question/answer set on the same topic, a lot of excellent points you need to consider.

+1 for the social engineering approach to getting users to upgrade! Trick is that so many users are stuck with IT depts that won't upgrade... so rubbing it in their face can actually do more harm than good.
