Can you please be a bit more specific? In which URL should the ampersand be
replaced?

elog sends wrong HTTP headers, charset is empty and not separed from the
next one "Connection: Keep-Alive ... this bug tells the browser that the
encoding is "connection:" ... that is wrong.

this is the problem from validator point of viev:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmidas.psi.ch%2Felogs%2FForum%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=%28detect+automatically%29&ss=1&verbose=1

> as this url shows http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#amp


> it should be used an HTML entity instead of the ampersand sign.<p>

another problem with validation:
required attribute "ALT" not specified  in every <img> tag used in the elog (icons)

here is an example of the validator results:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmidas.psi.ch%2Felogs%2FLinux+Demo%2F&charset=iso-8859-1+%28Western+Europe%29&verbose=1

 up :-)

The "Preset xxx" option actually never was ment to be used with conditional
attributes. I added that functionality in rev. 1.553. Please give it a try.

This has to do with the "%S" vs. "%s" bug described elsewhere in this forum. 
I fixed that. The validator link above now also reports error free.

I added ths missing tags. The validator at least does not complain any more.
