What do you want the attribute value to be? If tags3x_vl.swf?tarframe=_self&exbackground=0066FF then use VALUE="tags3x_vl.swf?tarframe=_self&exbackground=0066FF" i.e. your current markup without the inner quotation marks. If the value should be tags3x_vl.swf?tarframe=_self"&"exbackground=0066FF (i.e., with the ampersand inside quotation marks), then use VALUE="tags3x_vl.swf?tarframe=_self"&"exbackground=0066FF" or alternatively VALUE='tags3x_vl.swf?tarframe=_self"&"exbackground=0066FF' since a quotation mark must not appear as such inside an attribute value delimited by quotation marks, but you can either write it as the entity reference " or use apostrophes as delimiters. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
