Sometimes I need to insert hyperlinks with dynamic variables. Therefore I need to use the caracter & . For exampe Test.as?Lang=Fr&Target=Test.
The problem is that RTE does not like it and it is automatically transformed into &. I tried with the ASCII code & but it does not help.
What can I do ?

This type of thing is handled by the browser itself different browsers will do this type of thing in different ways, so my best advice would be to try an alternative browser.

Firefox's Midas API produces much cleaner code than IE 6 and doesn't tend to re-write your HTML.

Hopefully with IE 7 Microsoft will improve the code it's RTE produces.

Unfortunately it does not work properly with Firefox either and Opera is not Rich Text Enabled.
How can we fix this problem then ?

It shouldn't be a problem, here is a link to this page with & in it that I have posted in Firefox:-

As you can see the & sound stays intact it also works in IE. The RTE in this forum uses the same one as the standalone RTE.

Also, a new version is being tested at present that will work with Opera as Opera 9 is now RTE enabled.

Actually with IE your example seems to work because the part after http://forums.webwiz.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=21212 is not relevant. The &PID=113597#113597 is relevant to position directly the browser to the message.

Yes but the point that I am making is that & can be used within URL's and is not changed to &

Here is another one that does need all the parts in the URL to work, including those after the & signs:-

Ok, I understand. But me, I am talking about the HTML code. If you toggle to HTML code, then you can see that & is changed into & That is the problem because the hyperlink does not work properly since at least one variable is missing.
