In fact, it's more correct to have it there than not. The HTML user agent is supposed to treat & as the ampersand character. When clicked, this anchor: <a href="http://www.skew.org/printenv?foo=bar&baz=maz">click</a> should send the user to: http://www.skew.org/printenv?foo=bar&baz=maz *not* to: http://www.skew.org/printenv?foo=bar&baz=maz I could write the anchor entirely as character references if I wanted: <a href="httq://www etc. Also, what I've read indicates that WML is in fact an XML-based language and thus I do not see what you are gaining by using the HTML output method. - Mike ____________________________________________________________________ Mike J.
