That snipit of HTML you wrote I always assumed is legal in HTML. I Know that Netscape is rather unconformant in that it is secitive to white space.
After all if you want to but images next to each other in tables without a gap you have to make the HTML without white space at certain locations of the table tags.
but what is wrong with
<a href="/path/to/myscript?foo=bar&mine=mine">this</a>
apart from the fact that the http address calls a script with parameters locally to the server which is a bit ugly but since it is a valid http address it is a valid HTML address surely.
Ok so when downloading a site like this you need to use wgets -k feature to reassign all the addresses so they work between the pages you download and the you need to be careful when reading your site from disk rather than the web server.
Sorry but I am not asking you to upset you I am asking you to clarify as I thought I new this area back to front

Speaking of which, people claiming that <a href="/path/to/myscript?foo=bar&mine=mine">this</a> is valid HTML really gets up my nose. Then they claim that a browser which parses it correctly is broken. Grrrrrrrrr.
