""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Please, validate your XML document first!
Line 8
Column 500
The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference.
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Thats the error i get, each time i try and validate my CSS via
"...check/referer" "...uri?=http://www.coremedia.co.za/" or via the input box at
the validator site.

1. This can be tested live via any of the navigation links. CSS is implemented
into entire site (PHP)

2. Navigate to any part of the site, and use the Valid CSS link at the bottom of
the page.

The XHTML is valid (checked before submitting this bug report), and I have no
XML coding in my website.

That's considered XML by the Validator.
