How To Tell Yahoo Not To Index Certain Subpages?

Was wondering how to tell the yahoo crawlers NOT to index certain sub-pages. Better early than late.

Ideas as to what I have to add to website sub-page?

Update: Is this the correct no follow link I should add so "Google and other search engines should not add sub-pages within my sites..?

<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow" />

Thanks for the additional suggestion mate, any possibility of sharing which has been a prefered area for pasting such code in the pages we may not want to expose?

By the way, I was trying to see the code after successful uploading by pointing the html source area on top of my IE browser and I can't see the code, I suppose it is supposed not be seen, right?

I believe I fixed it. Needed to pull the frontpage html code and paste. I think quite a few of us hate the technical area excessively!

Have your robot.txt disable Yahoo's bots in visiting your page/s
