    Default Add amp to link

    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.

    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 &.

    Here is a cool doc to help you http://htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html
