Re: [WSG] validation errors
Hi Helen, In the link for the consumer's association change the ampersand to the html entity for ampersand (amp;) and try validation again. The validator is trying to identify a system identifier 'catId...' and because it hasn't been terminated with a semicolon, it generates all those other errors. just like this. http://www.choice.com.au/defaultView.aspx?id=102314amp;catId=100165 Andrew [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I have a page in the site I am working on (http://learnline.cdu.edu.au/wip/sbi240/module3/agriculture.html) that won't validate because of an external link I have to the Australian Consumers' Association - http://www.choice.com.au/defaultView.aspx?id=102314catId=100165 I'm getting these sorts of errors Line 298, column 70: cannot generate system identifier for general entity catId Line 298, column 70: general entity catId not defined and no default entity Line 298, column 75: reference not terminated by REFC delimiter Line 298, column 75: reference to external entity in attribute value Is there any way to get the page to validate?

Re: [WSG] validation errors
http://www.choice.com.au/defaultView.aspx?id=102314catId=100165 I'm getting these sorts of errors Line 298, column 70: cannot generate system identifier for general entity catId You need to replace the character in the URL with amp;. The short version of why this is a problem is in HTML, followed by a string of characters is a character entity, like eacute; for an e with an accent. The validator thinks you've used an unknown entity. Have You Validated Your Code?
