Re: [cobalt-users] Custom 404 error page

["Larry E. Smith" <lesmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

James, Deana,

  Believe what you are referring to are what Microsoft calls
  "smart-tags" - which in laymans terms simply means if your
  browser does not get the responce/page it believes it should,
  you (the browser) automatically "re-directs" to a Microsoft
  page giving you "options" based on its interpretation of what
  the page/link was you were looking for.

  Ref:  http://smarttags.manilasites.com/  for more information
  (not my siten and no relation to my company)...

  Believe the "tag" (meta) to turn this feature off has to be
  done at the site level (all pages) with the following:

  <META name="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="TRUE">

  Hope this helps.
