That is not inserting tags. It is just copying them from a file - just
as if they were in the original header.

Which makes them pretty worthless. And no, you are NOT "adding them".
You are just placing fixed tags in the header.

Which, since it is always reading the same file, is no different than
just placing the tags in the HTML file itself.
You are over-complicating the problem with a *very stoopid* response.
The *real* problem here is that IE is inserting the HTML when it gets
the blank page back. It is easily duplicated in IE8.
