Removing Meta Tag created by Shopsite

Postby David » Wed Apr 28, 2004 11:52 pm

I am having problem adjusting my tables and graphics due to the meta tag
created by Shopsite on custom template pages. An example of the meta tag is
printed below.

Example:
<meta name="generator" content="ShopSite Pro 7.0.3
(page_left_browse_menu_product.txt)">

Is there anyway to prevent shopsite to generate this meta tag on the custom
template page? I have over 200 pages that has complex tables and graphic
slices. This un-needed meta tag destroy the alignment of these pages. I do
not want to delete the line one at a time just to remove this comment placed
by Shopsite. The purpose of the software is to reduce my working time.

Thus, if anybody knows how to turn this off, please let me know. I am
spending hours just to delete this tag out. It is wasting my time.

Likewise, if there is no way to turn this off, I would like to BEG Shopsite
to have an option to have this turned off in the upcoming upgrade because
this is a real bother, real wast of my time, and an un-necessary clutter.

Sincerely,
David

David,

There is no way to turn it off.
The meta tag is output after the first instance of the word "head"
followed by a > in the page template. You might be able to get around
the issue by doing something like this at the top of your html page

<!-- head >

-->

<html>
<head>
....

The code would then be output in the comment before the beginning <head>
tag so it shouldn't show up on the actual page. Here is a sample of
what the above generated. (I don't know how this will come through the
newsgroup with all the html tags in it.)

<!-- head >
<meta name="generator" content="ShopSite Pro 7.0.5 (my_rounded)">
-->

<html>
<head>
