Hi,

On the site im making http://calm.dansgalaxy.co.uk the calm doante button(s) cause about 26 errors when the pages are valdiated.

How to i fix them without loosing the paypal buttons?

Also i ahve noticed that it brings the errors up nicly to 59 on the events page because of the google maps url...

is there a way to tell it not to validate the link path?...

Suggestions on a post card...
Dan

haven't looked, but you replace all instances of the ampersand "&" with the equivalent HTML entity &amp;

so instead of
HTML Code:
 page.ext?something=123&somethingelse=456"

you code your HTML source as;

HTML Code:
page.ext?something=123&amp;somethingelse=456"

You still have ampersands in the links.

i know i have seen this!, i have upload and re-uplaoded the server copy DOES have &amp; instead!

Code:
<td id="googlemap"><a href="http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=l&amp;hl...loc=A&amp;om=1" title="Find this location on Google maps"><img src="images/googlemaps.gif" alt="Find this on GOOGLE MAPS" class="googlelink"/></a></td>
This is what the file contains i just dont see why it would be replacing them...
