“The reference to entity XX must end with the ‘;’ delimiter” XML ERROR

Some of you might be familiar with the ERROR “The reference to entity XX must end with the ‘;’ delimiter” while adding or altering any piece of code to your XML Templates. Even I get that ERROR sometimes when I try to alter or add some codes to my blogger blog’s templates(XML).

Mostly these kind of ERRORS occur while we add any third-party banner or widgets to our XML Templates. We can easily rectify that ERROR by making a slight alteration in the piece of code we add!

EXAMPLE

• Original Code:
  <!– Begin Code –>
  <script src=”http://XXXXXX.com/XXX.php?sid=XXX&br=XXX&dk=XXXXXXXXXXXX” type=”text/javascript”/>
  <!– End Code –>
• Altered Code:
  <!– Begin Code –>
  <script src=”http://XXXXXX.com/XXX.php?sid=XXX&amp;br=XXX&amp;dk=XXXXXXXXXXXX” type=”text/javascript”/>
  <!– End Code –>

HOPE YOU GOT IT RIGHT! HAPPY BLOGGING!
