Subject: Problems with & in URIs
Hi,
I get a lot of moans from the validator for URIs which contain &
characters: these are passed as arguments to a cgi script on another
site. The validator complains that the entity is not defined: surely
this should only happen on the body of the html, not in a URI. See
www.croftguesthouse.co.uk for an example. I hope is is correct and this
is a bug in the parser. Please let me know otherwise.
I'm not on the mailing list, so please email me directly if you want a
reply.
Thanks,
Tim.
