Validating .cgi pages

Having a few problems

[MatthewHSE]

A few weeks ago, I finally started adding a transitional doctype to my pages and began validating. This week I've begun using a strict doctype and have found that it's not all that much harder to validate. So, as I work on a redesign of my site, I'm going to use a strict doctype as much as possible.

However, much of my site is generated dynamically by .cgi scripts. I'm having trouble getting those pages to validate. The main problem is I don't know what some of the validation errors are.

The link to my validation page is <edit>. (Hope this doesn't violate the TOS, since it's a technical resource?) I'm having a lot of trouble understanding errors like all those found on line 89. I'd really appreciate it if someone could explain in English (rather than w3c talk!) what some of these errors mean.

Thanks,

Matthew

I allow that error to run on my site. What it is it that you are using '&' in the url. What you should use is the expressions '&amp;' which will be translated by the browser into '&', the error you are getting is that it does not understand the text following the & and cannot translate it into a symbol character. Nor can it find the terminating ';'.
