  • Hi,

    Finally I have solved six of them using & instead of only &. But one problem still there. It caused in the pinterest button url. Here is the marked problem by W3C Validator:

    Error Line 192, Column 2158: Bad value for attribute href on element a: Whitespace in query component. Use %20 in place of spaces.

…r Before Doing Google Adsense Sign Up"></a></div><div class="rtsocial-horizont…

Syntax of IRI reference:
    Any URL. For example: /hello, #canvas, or https://example.org/. Characters should be represented in NFC and spaces should be escaped as %20.

    I think, it is because of the description in the href. Can you please tell me how can I encode it? It’s the last problem I faced but couldn’t make any solution yet.
