Hi Genau Who puts the link into your (x)HTML? If the advertiser give you the link and you paste it into your page, you just need to make some minor adjustments. The validator tells you what the problem is: If you want to use a literal ampersand in your document you must encode

No, it is not correct. You need to read the spec. Validators do not alert you if you have left form out, that's why it seems like you can use form controls anywhere... but the real question becomes why would you want to when there are so many other tags you can use. Terrence Wood. Cb2 Web

[WSG] NN4 - Anyone Care?
