parsing error when '&' is next to an 'o' or 'O' #8

<script language=vbscript>
                sHtml=sHtml&"<td width='10%'>"&objNode.selectSingleNode("SpendTime").text&"</td></tr>"
</script>

Error: unexpected char: 'b'

Adding spaces between the "&"s is a workaround.

This error occurred, because vbscripts allows octal constants to be defined by &o[0-7]+. The unexpected letter 'b' was the one from &objNode. This was fixable by inserting a space between the & and the o, because then the look ahead did not analyze for a constant anymore.
