Re: Errors.. checking the content inside href

Thomas,

In (the source of) a HTML document & has to follow by ; with something 
in between. Always. HTML entities those constructions are called.

If you want a "&" on your screen, or as part of the address a link 
points to you have to encode it as "&"



validator coders:

Many, many people assume that hrefs are an exception to the rule when it 
comes to "&", maybe it's an idea to make the feedback of the validator 
more clear&specific in this case?


Cheers,

Ruud
