Topic awaiting preservation: for server admins

Dunno if this has made the rounds yet but there's some good info here about disabling Microsoft's SmartTags in any page served by your Apache webserver. groovy


Jason

you could easily do the same thing easily via PHP as well.

no no no man, you're sposed to heckle me over in the pspong forum...

Okay

Now somebody can heckle me.

What are Smart Tags and why do I want to remove them?

You can also disable them by using <META> tag...

<META NAME="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" CONTENT="true">

And while we are talking about disabling things...

To disable MSIE6 image toolbar add this:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="imagetoolbar" CONTENT="no">

To disable Windows XP themed buttons and other elements in forms add this:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="MSThemeCompatible" CONTENT="no">

BTW1 Since MS has decided to drop Smart Tags from final version of MSIE6, I don't see the need to disable them (and I'm 99.9% sure that they won't add them in future versions of IE either).

BTW2 Butcher, more information about Smart Tags can be found here: http://www.glassdog.com/smarttags/
