I'm trying to make my site pass the w3.org validator and I'm getting this error:
quote:
Line 173, column 50:
... href="pop_profile.asp?mode=display&id=1">admin</a>, </font> ...
^
Error: unknown entity "id" (explanation...)
I read the explination and it states that "....because '&' has special status in HTML."
So, my question is, is there a series of characters that can replace the "&" symbol so I don't get this error? or is this something that I can ignore?

Alright. So, what's the correct syntax for that?
<href=server.urlencode("pop_profile.asp?mode=display&id=1"> ???
I've never used server.urlencode before.
edit: ahhhh, nevermind. I found a page about it. http://www.aspalliance.com/pkvnm/samples/urlencode.asp
Actually, I'll just replace all the '&' signs with '&'

what is the correct syntax if I wanted to use server.urlencode() on this link:
quote:
<form method="POST" action="topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=<% =rsPoll("TOPIC_ID") %>&FORUM_ID=<% =rsPoll("FORUM_ID") %>&CAT_ID=<% =rsPoll("CAT_ID")%>&Topic_Title=<% =ChkString(rsPoll("T_SUBJECT"),"urlpath")%>&Forum_Title=<% =ChkString(left(rsPoll("F_SUBJECT"), 50),"urlpath") %>&pollresults=1" name="Vote">
I'm not sure whether I put the server.urlencode inside the quotes of the link or what. I'm clueless
