Named entity expected. Got none.

[agrippaz]

When editing HTML, I have the following code calling an image:

<img src="http://weathersticker.wunderground.com/weathersticker/cgi-bin/banner/ban/wxBanner?bannertype=wu_clean2day_cond&airportcode=FOO&language=EN" />

This causes the built-in code validator to throw: "Named entity expected. Got none." for that line.

It seems to be related to "&" in the src URL. The following does not cause an error:

<img src="http://weathersticker.wunderground.com/weathersticker/cgi-bin/banner/ban/wxBanner?bannertype=wu_clean2day_cond" />

Changing the & to &amp; seems to resolve this. Not sure if this normal behavior or not; I usually just use & in URLs.

It's technically correct to use &amp; albeit pedantic.

You should actually use %26 instead because I don't think you can use HTML entities in URLs
