TechFlaps | Waves of Technology: ERROR : THE REFERENCE TO ENTITY "XX" MUST END WITH ';' DELIMETER

ERROR : THE REFERENCE TO ENTITY "XX" MUST END WITH ';' DELIMETER

Many of you might have came across this error while making some changes in your template code. This normally happens when you add some advertisement codes or some Javascript references where we pass more than one parameter to the Javascript function.

For example, I want to include the code

inside the blogger template code, which just shows a SPHERE IT link below my posts. This will get me an an error at the time I try to save the template. The error will be like this.

Blogger Error while saving Javascript Snippets

BLOGGER ERROR : THE REFERENCE TO ENTITY "XX" MUST END WITH ';' DELIMETER

If you ever, ever encounter with this error just make a simple change in the code change the

'&'

before the

'p'

. This will solve the issue.

If there are more then one &VARIABLE_NAME=VALUE combinations, just change all the

'&'

before the VARIABLE_NAME's to Ampersand Code

NOTE : One thing you have to notice that this error occurs only when you try to paste the code directly into the Blogger Template code. If you try to include the code inside a widget there won't be any issues. The difference is because, when you try to paste the code directly into the template code, the blogger engine tries to validate it and causes error. While if it is inside a widget the engine validate the widget, not the code at time when we save it.
