Hi George,

To include an ampersand (&) in your text, it needs to be escaped as a 
character entity, e.g. &amp;  This applies to URL attributes (href, src) as 
well as content.

   <a href=
   "http://edit.yahoo.com/config/send_webmesg?.target=george_fischer76530&amp;.src=pg">
   Warning unescaped &amp; or unknown &amp; entity "&amp; src"
   <img border="0"
        alt="Messenger notice"
        src=
        "http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=george_fischer76530&amp;m=g&amp;t=1">
   </a>

take it easy,
Charlie
