Hi All,
Although it’s been a long time, the pipe(line) character was used to redirect the output of one command to the input of another command
way, way, way back, before windows, before the internet, back in the DOS days we use to use the pipe symbol to display a long file directory a page at a time. (the output of dir command is piped into the input of the more command)
C:>dir | more
(before Microsoft added the /w /p switches to the MSDOS dir command)
What browser version used to cut and paste the banner/text link code may matter.
consider the two banner code snippets from BrightShare.
The first is taken using NS 7.1 – notice the double & (in 4 places)
The second example is taken using IE 6.x
NS 7.1
