Hello,

I've been trying to insert an html link using Mozilla's html editor, which looks something like

<a href="http://www.bbb.com/script.cgi?var1=data1&var2=data2";>Some link</a>

However, whenever I try to do that, using the Insert->Link dialog box, the href string is automatically escaped to

http://www.bbb.com/script.cgi?var1=data1&amp;var2=data2

and the cgi data 'put' fails. Is there anyway to prevent my href from being "escaped" automatically? The same problem also shows up when I want to, say, insert a counter .gif on the page, but the '&' are escaped to '&amp;' , causing the data 'put' to fail.

These escaped links work for me - when the link loads it gets unescaped automatically.
