I think it's related to the unescaped ampersands (&) in the URLs. The validator sees ampersands as indicating the beginning of character entities such as """ or "&1234;". I think the W3C site somewhere as a page on how ampersands are supposed to be used in URLs, sorry, I've never dealt with it myself. -- David [EMAIL PROTECTED] authenticity, honesty, community ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
