# Outdated IE Alert
Outdated IE Alert is a jQuery plugin that shows a well designed modal box to the visitor who's trying to view your site with an older version of Internet Explorer browser. The modal box encourages your visitors to upgrade their browser for a better experience using your site.
## When should I use it?
You should use it when you created a stunning modern website that looks and works amazing in modern browsers and you don't want to waste your time and money to make it work on legacy browsers like IE6, IE7 and IE8.
## How it works
This plugin will show a modal box to the visitor who is trying to view your website with with an older version of Internet Explorer browser. The modal box tries to convince them to upgrade to a newer version or to an another modern web browser.

This plugin will detect user's idiom and will show texts in respectives idiom (fallback to english idiom).
