entity encoding issue IE

[omar khan]

I have discovered that

http://www.mysite.org/myPage?parameter="foo"§ion="mysection" 

is translated to

http://www.mysite.org/myPage?parameter="foo"�tion="mysection" 

by IE, while Netscape, Mozilla and Opera work correctly. Apparently IE appends a ; to &sect autonomously.

I am assuming that this when the URL is embedded within a page? (I'll avoid my weekly 'What do you expect from Microsoft?' tirade.. oh, too late...)
Perhaps if you encode the ampersand itself as an entity that will keep all the browsers happy?
