Remove author name from View Source

An existing site for your company was set up with HTML comments, which include
the name of the original
author of the page, the date it was created, revision dates, and other
comments. Using the View Source
command in their browsers, visitors are able to read these comments. For
company security and privacy
reasons, you have been asked to remove these comments from the HTML, but the
information still needs to be
available internally and remain associated with the appropriate file. Please
tell me how to achieve this in Dreamweaver MX 2004.

A Sitewide find and Replace seems like a reasonable solution. Is the name
always present in the same meta tag?

I dunno, but on Mac, you can add comments to the file itself which can
be viewed when doing a Cmnd + i.
Maybe PC owners familiar with this can tell if it can bo done on PC, too...

put the info in a Design Note (see help files)
And- in the Site Definition-->Design Notes pane, turn off "share design
notes" so they aren't uploaded.

it's remote that someone would bother to read the .mno design note files on
the webserver- but it's possible.

It can be done with files on NTFS (NT file system, Win2k and XP).

But isn't that only going to be viewable by whoever has the local site and
the design notes? I'm thinking he wants it so "privileged" people within the
company can see the information for the average person who goes to the web
site can't.

Beats me how to do this, but that's how I'm reading it.

I didn't see it that way, just that it be available internally- and it would
be by anyone with access to the Local Site. Design Notes are handy if there
are * retentive people who are obsessive about documenting changes.

to have it available in the page from the server, but only to certain
people, would mean setting up a member system with a login for the
privledged, probably using sessions. If session exists, write the info out
(the info would have to entered into the db of course)

So.....where's the OP when we need him to clarify? (:})
