The majority of the validation errors on my site are related to the & symbol used in my CJ affiliate links. Here's an example of the link code which is supplied to me by CJ: <a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-2914285-1027806?sid=AquaWasabi3&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.zapp.com%2Fn%2Fredirect.cgi%3Fq%3Dvz348727997z2%26zcj%3D1&cjsku=7376575163047" target="_blank"> Product Description Here</a> <img src="http://www.ftjcfx.com/image-2914285-10273706" width="1" height="1" border="0" /> The W3C validator states that I should substitute & for & However, I'm paranoid to make such changes to the CJ links so I don't jeapordize sales and proper tracking. Is this a validation error I can ignore? Many Thanks George
Well, it's up to you whether you want to "ignore" the error or not. : ) But, delimiting the ampersand has never been an issue for me. When using XHTML, you're required to do so, even in links, for a page to be "valid". Hope that helps.
