One Link, 27 Validation Errors

I'm linking to a dynamic google maps search result and am getting 27 Validation errors just from the one link. Is there a way to use a link containing special characters and still validate?

Maybe - sounds like it may potentially be an encoding error. What is the link and what are the errors?

Assume you are using XHTML, You need to escape the special characters by using the correct entity code, so where there is a & in the link you need to change it to & If you are embedding the map with thier IFRAME code then you will need to declare the page as XHTML1.0 TRansitional

HTML Latin-1 Entities
