10,612 PointsValidator check error
Hi, Dear TreeHouse Fellows
I uploaded my index.html to validator through direct input by copying pasting
and it gave me one error as the follows:
" 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 "
It seems that it is having problem with the fonts I copy and pasted from google, is that something to pay attention to?
Thanks

You want to url encode the vertical bar |
Replace it with %7C and that should get rid of your error.
