Hi Guys -

What does this do:

<meta http-equiv="MSThemeCompatible" content="No">

Also, what is the proper syntax for such tags? Should it be Yes/No, or
True/False? Which is the most proper?

Thanks.

From this page:

Windows XP user interface support

When running on Windows XP, Internet Explorer 6 and the content displayed in it sports a look and feel that matches the Windows XP
platform. You can opt to have your HTML content not take on the same look as the operating system for elements such as buttons and
scroll bars, by adding the following META tag:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="MSThemeCompatible" Content="No">

It should be Yes or No

Would these also be more properly written as "no" and "yes," respectively?

<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="false" />
<meta name="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="true" />

Thanks very much Ken.
