Now what I don't understand is why W3C doesn't like links like [blah.com...]
?
Note that replacing & with & is only done when writing the URL in HTML, where "&" is a special character (along with "<" and ">"). When writing the same URL in a plain text email message or in the location bar of your browser, you would use "&" and not "&". With HTML, the browser translates "&" to "&" so the Web server would only see "&" and not "&" in the query string of the request.
I have tried putting in & in the url (like with local weather pages) and it doesn't translate to &, instead it gives me a error on the page or please enter the right zip code to continue. Anyone have any suggestions?
