[FX.php List] Odd browser bug or?

[Dale Bengston]

Hi Erik,

The five characters & represent the html entity encoding for the  
ampersand character. This is confusing for the ampersand character  
because all html entities start with an ampersand. Is a specific user  
agent encoding ampersands when sending queries to your pages?

A complete list of html entities for so-called high-bit ASCII  
characters may be found here:
