Using an undefined entity produces an undefined result, although most HTML browsers will treat the initial & as a literal in that case. See http://www.w3.org/TR/html40/appendix/notes.html#h-B.2.2 for the correct way to code hrefs and for ways to write CGI (ASP, PHP, etc.) scripts to minimise the problem. -- --------------------------- DISCLAIMER --------------------------------- Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the sender specifically states them to be the views of BTS.
