We are validating a page (dtd: loose) and the validator doesn't like a url. The url has this in the middle of it '..com/servlets/Travstay_rn_partner_hotels_x?stat=2&affiliateCode=LONHS&general..' The error we are getting is: "entity "affiliateCode" not defined and no default entity" Does anyone have any idea what this might mean, and how to correct it?

Welcome to the board - lets move this over to the browsers forum.

Ya, you need to use & in the url between the form values instead of just &

Thanks. Do the "&" and other symbols need to urlencoded? The validator we are using is searchengineworld.com/validator
