    I've got a menu bound from a database and some of the menu items contain ampersands (&) in the text of the menu.  This creates validation errors:

    http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fhuronperthlakers.ca&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

    I've tried to do a Replace("&","&") in the ItemDataBound server event but that doesn't seem to have any effect.  Any ideas?

    Hi Shaun,

    I just played with ampersand symbols in the menu text, but after I ran a Replace I got the page validated correctly. Please find attached the sample page I used. Am I missing something?

    Kind regards,

    I thought I had already tried that but apparently I didn't do it right; it's working now as it should.  Thanks and my apologies for the inconvenience.
