Hi Isabelle,

While it's always good to try and make your code valid, sometimes it's no always possible. Like when putting a script directly in your HTML page. So long as you make sure your code is readable you should be okay.

But we might be able to try and fix it.

When you run your code through the validator, what does it return? :)

Change " | " to %7C with no space around it.

is there anyway to know why adding %7C makes it work? I read something about the percent always should be listed but that was never covered in the video. Any reason?
