error: <...> escaping malformed URI reference
Cause:
An URI contains non-authorized characters. Or the quotes around the
URI are not closed.
Solution:
Correct the URI.
Samples:
error: <a> escaping malformed URI reference
BAD <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/one space.html">space</a>
GOOD <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/one%20space.html">space</a>
GOOD <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/one+space.html">space</a>
BAD <a href="http://www.w3c.org>w3c</a>
GOOD <a href="http://www.w3c.org">w3c</a>

For the first example, a space should
not be contained in URL. (Even if it works in all browsers...). This is
described in detail in the
RFC1738 (Look for
Unsafe)
