Visual Studio Code Version 1.15 - Google Maps API not working, red ampersand

Question

So I'm currently trying to get a map on my webpage, and have the correct code in the editor, however where I src my google and plug in my API key the ampersand after my key is red. I don't know if this is causing the problem or not, but the map isn't showing up.

Any thoughts on why this might be?

    <div id="map">
    <script>
        var map;
        function initMap() {
            map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
            center: {lat: -34.397, lng: 150.644},
            zoom: 8
        });
        }
    </script>
    <script async defer
    src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyDvTry6RgHatGai_J7kt66sA5chXzhkghY&callback=initMap">
  </script>

  </div>

Answer 1

Your context is HTML, so to represent an ampersand , use & .

Currently you are attempting to denote entity &callback=initmap what is invalid one, therefore the ampersand is red.
