does anybody know what this does <!-- saved from url

[dfrankel]

I saved a web site and it added this line of code with the URL of the web site I was saving from. I thought it was a comment and when I deleted it, the top frames functionality didn't work quite right. The images were gone.

It is. Specifically it is the start of a comment.

But it's not just a comment because when a dleted part of the url that was in the comment the site didn't function properly.

When I removed part of the URL the page didn't load properly.

Does that mean you did not post the code that breaks the page?

I actually tried it on a test page. I saved another site and removed that line completey. The new site that I saved loaded up fine. I don't know why. Perhaps the site I saved from was a .asp I don't know.

From your description in the first post, it sounds like the comment somehow worked the same as a BASE HREF tag, that would explain why the images stopped showing after this was deleted.

Hope this helps
