Validating XHTML 1.0 Transitional

[RammsteinNicCage]

Most of my site validates except for the links page. On it, there are some webrings and the validator is having problems with the link:

<a href="http://www.blahblahblah.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=blahblahblah&id=182&prev" onmouseover="window.status='Previous site'" target="_top">Prev</a>

Once it hits the &, I get this error: cannot generate system identifier for general entity "id" and then I get more errors for id, =, prev, etc. Is there anyway to stop this?

You need to replace the ampersand symbol with &amp;
[w3.org ]

That can work inside a link? Didn't know that, thanks! :)

Yeah, the browser knows to escape the version that it sends to the webserver.
