another HTML statement confusion

I just saw this in some code:

I have never seen this type of tag before, but it isn't just comments because I see it's effects. It is like a reference to another html document, which is nice, but where does this type of html come from. Is it FrontPage specific? Is it standard, or is this a hack from Frontpage? Any good sites about webbot?

It is frontpage code..

So what's the danger of using frontpage code? There must be a down-side.
Would anybody say there is any danger at all if the site was viewed only within an intranet, where all computers viewing it is basically a mirror of each other?

you just have to make sure that frontpage extensions are available on the server...

I would die before I let some WYSIWYG tool generate code for me.

I can tell you do not code in .NET Bear! LOL

Amen, brother!

Well this "website" isn't running on a web server it is just sitting on somebody's computer, on some desktop. We just use it like a file server. Does that mean that person's computer is somehow running something that supports FrontPage extensions, but not necessarily running a webserver?

If you installed frontpage, you most likely installed frontpage extensions.
I personally never used frontpage ext. other then having to install them for visual studio to run properly.
