    i have designed a site and all pages are fine except one, the one that is causing this error isa link to google maps.the link i need to use is this

    http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=geocode=&q=dn1+2ee&ie=utf8&ii=53.527503,-1.120434&spn=0.012017,0.037594&z

    as said i have validated all my pages and all are Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!. The page i got a problem with is is not Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional! and is faling validation with 16 errors, all to do with that link. is there a way i can link to that exact map and get the page to validate correctly.

    The main thing is the page is functioning fine and looks good in ie & firefox just would like the whole site to be Valid if at all possible.

    any help would be appreciated.

    As long as the page validates without that, it's not that serious a problem. If you are, however, totally set on making it validate, just amend the link accordingly. I guess most of it would be to do with the '&' signs. Change those to '&' and see what happens.
