Hi Everyone, I'm having a problem validating some links I have in a foreach.

I have tried various combinatons and different doctypes. I'm beginning to
wonder if this code is allowed at all.




All the other replies are talking nonsense (especially Daniel ;) !
There's no reason why HTML with single-quoted attributes isn't valid, so in 
principle your expected output of


a href='index.php?page=services'services/a

should be OK.

The real challenge is to understand why the code fragment you have presented is 
losing the single quotes: are you *sure* this is exactly what you have in your 
file (i.e. have you copied it to the posted message properly) ?

Thanks  Pete. Funny story. Ya'll better not laugh, especially you Denial, oops 
I mean Daniel ;-)

Anyway, All of us would never have fixed this error. We could have added double 
quotes, single quotes and every combination even the worlds best programmer 
would use and it wouldn't have gotten us anywhere. Thats because if your 
working on the wrong file. :-)

In this tag you aren't getting the href value enclosed in quotes which I
suspect would trigger the validator error.

a href=index.php?page=services
