If ampersands are encoded (which, from what I can tell of the XHTML and XML specs, is strictly speaking wrong, but nevermind) into &, Safari converts them to & in the final URL. So (see the URL given for an example), the URL http://127.0.0.1/&notarealurl becomes http://127.0.0.1/&notarealurl . This might be correct behaviour according to the spec, however not encoding the ampersand results in an error (see the second page, http://bowmore.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/safari_ampersand_bug2.xhtml ) instead. As such, it appears there's no way of using URLs with ampersands in them, in XHTML pages, under Safari! 44879 1 ap 2006-11-21 13:04:06 -0800 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 3861 ***
