HTML question

- Freaky control characters showing up in Firefox on Macs.
- They show up on nothing else -- not in Safari, not on PCs.

What the hell should I be looking for that will make this stop?

Okay. This is me again, super not getting this.

I know you just made a clever joke.

But I do not understand it.

If I want the screen to display: &

Do I just type a: &

Or do I type something else?

It's preferable to type & amp ; (without the spaces).

Ampersands need to be encoded. & amp ; (without the spaces) is syntactically correct in ANY form of HTML. Ampersand alone never has been.
