Link to amazon book reference?

[BruceMcNaughton]

Hi,

Has anyone linked to an Amazon book reference from a webhelp project?

For some reason, the Amazon HTML is not XHTML compliant ... and I'm not sure how to make it compliant.

The main problem is that the <iframe> and the <a> links have a web referrence that uses parameters on the URL ... just like a post.

so the URL contains statements like a=xyz&b=123&c=a12b

There seems to be a problem with this approach in an XHTML environment.

Any thoughts?

Regards, Bruce

On the Amazon site, if you choose to share an item via email it reveals a permalink (e.g. http://amzn.com/0316069485). Try this instead

Cheers

Hi Greg,

Many thanks ... I think I've answered my own question ...

To be XHTML compatible I need to replace the "&" with "&"

So the 'ampersand' must be an 'XHTML compliant ampersand".
