But what a pain - I extract URLs from NetSurf's URL bar using !Transfer2. It of course picks up the unglyphed version. -- Richard Torrens. http://www.Torrens.org for genealogy, natural history, wild food, walks, cats and more!

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'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
Validation
I was trying to validate an html page using w3c validator. I could not! The reason was that the page contains lots of links to Google searches etc. e.g. http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&source=hp&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=omeprazole+causes+bile+reflux&btnG=Google+Search";> The validator complains about the & in there - it wants & but the link with that in won't work. So is this a fault in the validator - or something which should be accomodated in NetSurf? -- Richard Torrens. http://www.Torrens.org for genealogy, natural history, wild food, walks, cats and more!
