CSS library (ex:Bootstrap) that supports IE6?

Question

I was a happy user of Bootstrap.

But most of our users are now from China, where IE6 is at 37%.
So we must abandon Bootstrap, which does not support IE6.

Any library similar to Bootstrap (simplify HTML/CSS layout) that supports IE6 too?

also, i'm not entirely sure what bootstrap is, but looking at the front page, it looks similar to grid 960. does that not meet your needs? http://960.gs/ — mpen, Nov 16 '11 at 07:22

@Mark: looks great and seems to work on IE6, feel free to propose it as an answer. — Nicolas Raoul, Nov 16 '11 at 08:09

Check out HTML5 Boilerplate, a rock-solid default for building sites using HTML + CSS + JS.

I had a small degrade on a site we have that uses bootstrap on IE 7 and 8, but IE 6 was just awful. I applied the CSS on the Bootstrap-IE6 project and it looks pretty like IE 7 now. It's not perfect but a massive improvement on what I had.

Check out Cascade Framework. It's a CSS framework I released earlier this year that's almost as fully featured as Bootstrap and offers full support for IE6.
