Error found while checking document as HTML5!

Hi All,

This is the error I get when I try and validate my HTML at validator.w3.org.

" Error Line 7, Column 142: Bad value http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700,800 for attribute href on element link: Illegal character in query: not a URL code point. …ne|Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700,800' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'> Syntax of IRI reference: Any URL. For example: /hello, #canvas, or http://example.org/. Characters should be represented in NFC and spaces should be escaped as %20.

"

Has anyone ran into this? Any help would be great!

Thanks, Richie

Hi Richard,

You have to url encode the vertical bar |. Replace with %7C
