The URL of the page is http://windsongs.net/comparrangers.php In future, please include the URL and/or relevant extract of code as text into the message. The character “-” is HYPHEN-MINUS and different from “−” MINUS SIGN. But that’s not the point here. The point is that the error message is not about either of those characters. The error message is: Error: Bad value http://www.tcm.com/this-month/article/133240|0/Alfred-Newman-Biography.html for attribute href on element a: Illegal character in path segment: | is not allowed.

So the offending character is “|” VERTICAL LINE (U+007C). Replace it by its %-encoded form “%7C”. Yucca
