RE: Antwort: RE: Ampersand for URLs

The browser replaces all character entities (e.g. &,  ) with their
equivalent characters when the page is rendered.  So if a browser receives
& in the HTML source  it will be converted to & by the browser.  As
Julian says, typing it directly into the navbar is not a valid test as the
browser doesn't have a chance to process this data.
