& should be the character entity for &.

It seems that an & in a URL confuses the gadget tools. How do I include a web link like: <A HREF="http://www.mytoshibawebcam.com/__live.jpg?&&&" > linkname </A>

without causing complaints about malformed xml contents followed by the exe crashing (due to the &&&) ? Is there a way to escape out the & character? I tried defining a string pointed to with &myURL but that fails too. Thanks!
