Just to clarify here, Larry means you can't change the pages if you
download them via your browser.
If you have (FTP) access to the original source files, then you may be able
to update the keywords and titles in these source files provided you don't
change anything within <% ... %> tags.
If the sections you wish to change have been dynamically written by ASP
code then you will be out of luck, but many ASP pages contain a mixture of
coding and HTML blocks. You can easily change the HTML within the HTML blocks.
