Depends very much on the document type of your page. Valid XHTML
(transitional, at least), for example, doesn't like single ampersands in <a
href=> links. For XHTML, you need to replace "&"s with "&amp;"s.

So the following link:

<a href='http://www.somewhere.com/index.php?id1=1&id2=2'>Something</a>

...should be changed to:

<a href='http://www.somewhere.com/index.php?id=1&amp;id=2'>Something</a>
