The ampersand problem is very common - basically you need to escape the ampersand to & (or one of the other choices). As a raw '&', the browser is expecting there to be the rest of a character entity after it. The </body> insertion is something else again - there must be a problem in your code, but its probably beyond the scope of this list :( warmly, Lea -- Lea de Groot Elysian Systems - http://elysiansystems.com/ Brisbane, Australia ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
