Embedded javascript messing HTML Validation

Ampersand in String

[itledi]

My embedded javascript is messing up my HTML Validation.

I have a line which includes ampersands ("&score=") as a part of an url string, but W3 views it as a special non-existing character.

How can I resolve this issue?

var src="update.php?id="+id+"&score="+score;

Thanks

You'll need to escape the ampersand...

&score

Thank you,

So if I change this:

var src="update.php?id="+id+"&score="+score;

to this:
var src="update.php?id="+id+"&score="+score;

The html will be valid, but the script won't have any issues?

Yes. Certain characters need to be escaped and the ampersand is one of them.
