hey guys :)<br />
<br />
right, one of my amazon links won't validate cos it's got an ampersand incorrectly coded, i can change it yeah, but don't know if the link to amazon will still work ok, any1 come across this b4?<br />
here's the part of the link:<br />
"http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/redirect-home?tag=planetenglish-21&site=books"<!--content-->Try replacing '&' with '&' and you should have no problem. <br />
Try by doing! ;)<!--content-->Nope, changing the & to a special character won't 'break' the link.<!--content-->What Arctic Dragon said is correct. Haven't figured out posting code. What I meant was replace the 'ampersand' with 'ampersand a m p semi-colon' !<br />
:grin:<!--content-->Replace the & with &amp; in the amazon URL. The browser will still send the correct thing to the server.<br />
<br />
To get &amp; to show up in the forums, you have to type &amp;amp; in the message.<!--content-->cheers guys :)<!--content-->
