In general, if the validator says your code is wrong, you can trust that it *is* wrong. In this case in particular: > I have the following hyper-link code on my page: > <a href="?css=css1&page=0">style1</a> Have you read the explanation that comes with the error message? http://validator.w3.org/docs/errors.html#ve-338 [[ If you want to use a literal ampersand in your document you must encode it as "&amp;" (even inside URLs!). ]] In other words, replace "&" with "&amp;", even in your links.
