Error using an ampersand within parameter title=

Hello community,

i was just trying to use an ampersand (&) within the parameter field for the start site. But instead of using the ampersand the text will be cut on the last character before the ampersand.

Is there an workaround or is it really not possible to use the &-character?

What do you mean by "the parameter field for the start site"? Unfortunately, "&" is globally used in URLs to separate variables. That means, you can have a link like this:

gallery/?startpath=folder/mumanddad/&theme=gardener

..but NOT like this:

gallery/?startpath=folder/mum&dad/&theme=gardener

The browser will cut the parameter after the "&" character in 2nd link, corrupting the parameters.

Did you try urlencoding? "&"

Hello,
thank you for your answer.
I mean the title of my start page: www.magicmoments.eu
I know wrote "magic moments and places" but actually I want to write "magic moments & places". Even trying & and even trying & as unicode...

Another error appears if I use the german language file. The audio player will have Lautstà¤rke instead of Volume, but the ठis not displayed. Instead of the ठthere is a strange char displayed.

Hope you have ideas to both problems.

Thanks in advance!
