Validating URL's With Characters

[mark87]

I have spent ages converting a guestbook script so that it outputs clean HTML with CSS as opposed to tables. I'm very pleased with what I've done but would be even happier if the page would validate...! It doesn't because of characters such as '=', '&', and '?' in links on the page... how can I get round that?

Well instead of & in URLs you have to use & and so forth...

Ah rite, ok thanks.

EDIT - Yup after changing all of the ampersands to '%26' I re-validated and it came out as valid. :)

[JamieR]

cool...glad you got it sorted :)

Well I did, but then I didn't - I used %26 because I couldn't get & to work.. but then I realised my links weren't working with %26, then I realised I didn't put the semi-colon on the end... :rolleyes: Ah well, sorted now!
