Area Tag Question

[glenmac]

Found this code on a friends site that uses a template generated from a comercial hosting service and don't for the life of me know whaqt it's doing other than setting a font. I've never seen the area tag used in this context. Can anyone enlighten me?

<!--area Type=&quot;subhead&quot; face=&quot;Times, Times New Roman&quot; size=&quot;4&quot; color=&quot;#333366&quot; style=&quot;2&quot;-->  <!--/area--->

Looks like a CSS thing to me but I'm not sure. All help is greatly appreciated.

You see that when you view source in the browser? If so, was there some stuff in between there? Maybe that is just there to show what is being done. I know that anything in <!-- & --> isn't interpreted by html or css.

On a second thought, I think that I've seen it where that is ignored by the browser, but the template uses the info and does stuff and keeps the <!--settings--> in the text. If you give a URL, someone might be able to check the output and see how it affects the rest of the page. Area is probably not the html <area> but a specific keyword defined in the template.

Teh URL of the page is

I'm pretty sure that is for a template. Look a few lines above and you will see that all the parameters in it are used in the stuff that follows. This didn't set anything probably because there was no content following it.

Thanks for your input Rick. It is a template. I was just confused and thought I was missing something.
