Disabling Smart Tags

[bogie]

:mad: Well, MS has done it again - so-called "Smart Tags" in IE6 are the "dumbest" thing yet! My websites are know proliferate with site design defacing "Smart Tags", in some cases pointing to competitors of my clients.

I have heard that there is a disabling HTML or Javascript that can be added to the site code to rescue us. Has anybody got that code or know where it is readily available?

Any help appreciated! :D

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

Looks like smart tags have been dropped from the IE 6 in WinXP

Thanks Steven ....
really appreciated.

Got tired of trying to locate the information. Many people will now hear about this simple Meta Tag. I know many developers wanting to use it :D
