XHTML Ampersands in URLs Opera problem fix
While working on validating a site for XHTML 1.1 I replaced the ampersands from URLs so they get valid.
This is invalid: <a href=”index.php?bla=one&foo=two”>click here</a>
This is valid: <a href=”index.php?bla=one&foo=two”>click here</a>
IE and Firefox treat these links correctly, that is, they escape & and when you click on a link they send the right link, using only &. Problem is, that Opera version 9.24 is sending the links in the wrong way, is not escaping & and is sending it like that when you click the link and you see in the browser in the address bar something like this:
index.php?bla=one&foo=two
