Go to the W3C HTML Validator first, and make sure that your HTML document is valid.

It would be helpful if you could provide the document or associated code invoking the errors.

This sounds like you’ve forgotten to escape an ampersand (&). In XML, including the XML language of XHTML, all ampersands must be escaped (&) as a character reference unless they appear inside a marked CDATA section (<![CDATA[]]>). This is also required in HTML if the ampersand character appears in certain contexts.

I’m not certain why a CSS Validator would be throwing this error though, since CSS is not an XML language.

A good XML validator can be found at Validome.
