The ampersand character ("&") is what is generating your error, since the
validator is assuming what follows to be an entity reference. The
preferred method to counter this is to user "&" in place of "&" in
your URLs, or change the separation character in your CGIs to some
character that does not have any special significance in HTML (such as
";").
See http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#amp for a more
detailed description of the problem with additional links...
