Sorry, but I think all of you have missed the point. ® is the unterminated entity in question. Isn't that what appeared in the validator's error message? It should be ® - meaning Registered trademark. So, the problem was to freak, or judicious, placement of & followed by reg which triggered the error. I say judicious because I assume the example was deliberately fabricated to highlight this very problem. There may be another point there, to do with escaping & itself, of course. -- Ron Savage [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://savage.net.au/index.html
