Question

For the paging function on my webpage I will be using the symbol < which is a delimiter. When I run an html check it give me this error:

Line 747, Column 318: character "<" is the first character of a delimiter but occurred as data 
…quot;, &quot;&quot;, true, &quot;&quot;, &quot;&quot;, false, true))"><<   </a>

I know there has to be a way to get around this problem. Here is what my aspx code looks like:

 <td>
     <asp:LinkButton ID="PagerPrev" runat="server" CommandName="Page" CommandArgument="Prev"
    Text="<&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;" ToolTip="Previous" />
</td>

If you see right after Text=” I used < and thats what the html error checker is picking up.
Help is appreciated.

You have to encode it like you did with the non breaking spaces:

"<" is "<"

The ">" would be ">"
