IndexOf Ampersand

[sagamw]

Hi guys,
I m trying a simple script for greasemonkey/firefox and I have some problem with & (ampersand)

var links = document.links;

for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
    var link = links[i];

    	var linkString = link.toString();
	var indexOff = linkString.indexOf('&');

        if (indexOf > 0) {
	link.href = linkString.substring(0, indexOff);
	}
}

As you can see I am trying to cut the part of the url after the &

For Example a link like this:

http://www.tek-tips.com/threadminder.cfm?pid=216&page=1#post

I want to do it like this:

http://www.tek-tips.com/threadminder.cfm?pid=216

The code works for all the characters/strings I tried includin the question mark, but It doesn;t work as it for &.

So far I tried some alternatives
var indexOff = linkString.indexOf("&");
var indexOff = linkString.indexOf(%26);
var indexOff = linkString.indexOf("&amp");
etc..
but with no luck :-(

What is the correct syntax for this?
TIA

I don't see anything special.
>if (indexOf > 0) {
[tt]if (indexOf[red]f[/red] [red]!= -1[/red]) {[/tt]
