Nope, you merely need to properly encode ampersands in href attributes on A
elements. Do a global search for "&" in URLs and replace them with "&amp;".
None of your CGI scripts need to be modified, only the calling HTML. This
works perfectly in all browsers except possibly some older versions of
Amaya (W3C testbed browser).
