Passing GET variables should be valid HTML ;-) But I rather believe your HREF contains a closing quote somewhere before the parameters (maybe in any parameter value).

Passing GET variables should be valid HTML ;-) Usually entities start with and end with ;. The entity section doesn't end with ; and is not defined, that's why it's not valid.

I just now doublechecked the RFC's - the '' character is reserved within HTML, it always starts a character entity, either a named or a numbered one. So: YOU are right, the W3C Validator was right, and I was simply WRONG - apologies for any misinformation. -- O Ernest E.
