You are right. This worked. I was thinking that somehow because it was a part of the href, that it needed to be & instead of & to show up correctly.
Thanks again for the help!

Yes you have, believe me :). This is a FAQ. In XML, "&" is a reserved
character, used to begin a character or entity reference. So, to output a
real "&", you have to escape it with the character reference for that
character: use "&".
I suggest that in addition to reading the XSLT specification, you also go read
the XML specification at <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml>. Who knows what new
tricks or insight you can learn. The specification will also tell you about
needing to use "<" instead of "<" in text or attribute values.
