On our intranet we have some .htm pages that are being created in word. These pages use an https, and because of the smart tags, users get that nice warning about secure and non-secure elements. Without having to re-touch every new .htm page created from Word, is there a way to turn off smart tags or block them from "rendering"?
 
Ignoring for a moment the fact that you're using Word to generate html, what makes you say it is smart tags that is causing the problem?

Using Word to generate HTML is like using a car to stir coffee.

There are far easier ways.

But I hope you do not want to say that you was satisfied with the result.

Oh I was satisfied though. I don't like coffee at all, the satisfaction came from ruining a cup of coffee. [smile]

I knew there was going to be grief... I'm not using word, a person in marketing uses word. We had a document in the past that was published/created every monday, and now they have turned that into a weekly web page.

The reason smart tags cause a problem is that the underline it uses to underline the elements is an image coming from an unsecure source, and this page's path starts with https.
 
Hi

I think the most simple and cleaner way would be to do a Replace in Files for that specific path. I know only UltraEdit to have that feature. ( Personally I would use [tt]find[/tt] and [tt]sed[/tt]. ( Yes, on Windows too. ) )

Yep. Flippancy aside, do what CoreyBryant suggests.

If the page is being viewed in a browser, how is the smarttag effecting it? I thought they were 'abandoned'?
Does the user have some kind of smarttag recogniser installed on their machine?

I must admit my ignorance of smarttags, I've never come across one... ever!

Well, I believe I've found my solution, and its not through html... The user had smarttags turned on in Word and she just needs to turn them off and resave the documents. Problem solved. And on a side note, I did try the meta tag route, but that didn't work for me. Thanks for all the help though.
