No, & won't work from your editor. It will work only in the Browser. The four amp version of the link above will be http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&source=hp&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=omeprazole+causes+bile+reflux&btnG=Google+Search And, buried in HTML, it works fine. It doesn't work in Pluto or StrongED though, so don't expect it to. They are happy with '&' and don't translate the '&'s as a browser does/has to. > So is this a fault in the validator - or something which should be > accomodated in NetSurf? It's working just as it should. Your example elsewhere had a typo. -- Tim Hill timil.com : tjrh.eu : butterwick.eu : blue-bike.uk : youngtheatre.co.uk
