Add amp to link

[xpcprocy]

Hello guys,

I want to fix the html validator for my site, and it says that insetad of &cPanel= it should be &cPanel= etc etc. I found how to change it, through html_output.php, and products are viewed fine, but if you click on one of the categories, it redirects you to the homepage, i don't know why... Any idea?

Thanks,
Artemis

The validator is not pointing to Zen's made links, but rather ones you coded yourself.

What I mean... and this is the case....

Zen Cart creates these links correctly, but your template has hand coded sections that were not correctly coded with the amp;

Specifically your category menu.

Oh know i understand .. thanks very much for clarifying that.

Btw last questions, can you explain a bit what amp; do?

It's an ampersand, it is a special entity reference. It means amp or and. The & in the beginning and the ; on the end are the delimiters for the reference amp.

The & version is for the coded part, like the links in your menu. When it is parsed in the browser it resolves to &.
