I am down in the dumps about this. Thanks for any help.
I have an well formed xhml document.
In the document, I have "img" elements that have a "src" attribute.
The attribute value of the "src" attribute is a URL.
The URL has ampersands in it. For it to be a valid XML document, all the
ampersands are escaped as &
The URL's do not work properly if they have the ampersands escaped. They
work fine if they are unescaped.
http://test?x=x&x=1&x=2 works fine
http://test?x=x&x=1&x=2 Does not work
My question is, how can I represent a URL in xhtml without the ampersands
being escaped and have it still be valid xml?
Should I consider running my xhtml document through a transformation that
will unescape the ampersands?
As an aside, I am using JDOM. It is a library that facilitates building
xml documents.
Thanks
