SYMPTOMS

MORE INFORMATION
The smart tag service in Internet Explorer 6 is available on the following operating systems:


 * Microsoft Windows 98
 * Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition (SE)

Smart tags allow you to find additional information about certain words and phrases that appear on a Web page. When you see a word or phrase underlined with a purple dotted line, you can place your mouse pointer over that word or phrase, and then a list of links to more information about the item is displayed. To view additional information, click the link, and then another browser windows opens displaying that information.
