i'm getting the following error w/ the W3 validator:
• Line 63, column 35:
... href="browse.php?action=add&id=GC11&qty=10 &subject=GC ...
^
Error: unknown entity "id"
what is up with this now? i can't have a link to a script w/ multiple variables on the URI and have a valid doc at the same time?
|
|
Can I have that cookie?

You need to replace your "&"s with "&" and a closing ";" I can't use the correct thinge here because it gets interperted in html so you should replace all &'s by "& a m p ;" : all attached.

I second that recommendation. Replace every instance of "&" with "&"

If that's the only thing that you're getting an error on, then your code is compliant. No need to replace the ampersands in the URL with the HTML entities, becuase they're not being used as entities.
Don't worry about it.

that's what i thought after i found out what an entity is… the code is compliant, the validator just isn't sophisticated enough.
thanx ReggieX

Actually, the W3C do recommend using the ampersand entity in links. Your browser will automatically convert it to an ampersand before it sends the querystring.
So according to the W3C experts, the validator is correct in this regard. You'll notice that BBEdit's built-in HTML validator makes the same recommendation. Here's why.
