Well, we are probably out of topic here, as it has nothing to do with css,
but rather xhtml ;o)
My guess would be, that you need to serve those ads by having them in a
database where you can define & as & and the equal signs as = but
if you are serving these ads by loading them from other places... you will
probably never validate, sorry to say.
Have a good day and HTH
