& in html is the ampersand character. That is also true for within href attributes. If you don't believe me, have a look at this link: <a href="/&&&">. Your code works. It is probably the space that confuses your script.pl.

Sorry! I forgot that I don't need to entity encrypt the & within the `<code>` sections. It is definately the & that is (was! Using uri_encode() fixed it) the problem. If I can work out how I edit the node, I will correct that!	[reply] [d/l]
