Validation issues

I've had a few problems on my recent redesign concerning validating the XHTML 1.0 Strict I used. On the front page, I'm having problems because of a URL which has equals and ampersands in it.

Here's the validator's findings:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ww...Inline&group=0

Can I fix this or not?

Thanks,
Whym

Whym, try to replace your "&" in links by the html entity: "&"
That should resolve your problems.

The validator is just telling you that "&package=" is not a known HTML entity.

Will the URL work with these though?

Yes. The browser correct the &package on the fly, but the correct syntax is really "&package"

OK thanks a lot

That problem's really annoying because it generate about 10 errors for every & you leave in.
