I am not sure if this is the right forum, but here is my question. While doing a search for someone's name on the web, sometimes you get hits for pages that don't have their name or any part of it listed on the whole site. Does a web page developer sign their pages? Kinda like an author signs his books?
 
That's a good question. I usually put some author notation in the META area of my pages or insert some comment code. Of course a viewer of my page wouldn't see it, but anyone that looks at the source code will. Dennis Hays, Publisher

So, for instance, if I did a search for your name on the web, would I get hits on pages you created because it is in the source code? Is there a way that I can look at the source code in IE6? I know that I used to be able to in Netscape.
 
It really depends on the search engine that produced the search results. Google, Alta Vista and others have differing means of indexing pages.

In IE, just go to the View menu and select Source. Dennis Hays, Publisher

Thanks! That ended up showing me some code, but not all of it. You have answered my question! Thanks again!
