DYNAMIC PAGE-SPECIFIC META TAGS WILL BE PLACED HERE
DO NOT ADD YOUR OWN META TAGS, ONLY PUT CSS/JAVSCRIPT INCLUDES IN YOUR HEAD TAG

It is a in page HTML comment telling you that you should not put meta tags in your heading section of the page. Meta tags are special HTML tags that were designed awhile ago to do things like provide keywords to describe the page content for search engines, force the page to refresh after certain amount of time, provide information of when a page was updated, how the page was generated etc.

You can read more about meta tags at the following link...

Meta tag article at Wikipedia.org

Normally you would put these tags in between the <head></head> tags and the message is telling you not to do that because these tags will be generated for you instead.

Hope that clarifies things. smile.gif

Thank you very much.
I'm am not familiar with asp.
One more question if you don't mind. If the Meta information is going to be generated, is it coming from another file? And once the page is generated and live on the internet, if you viewed the source coding would you see it?
