Maybe the meaning of & is different in HTML with German and English as language. Like the German Umlaute (ä,ö,ü), which sometimes aren't displayed correctly.

After seeing that Myreque had solved it, I checked the German version, which correctly asks for rows 2 and 8, not just row 2.
@marcmees: Yes, X is the digit nearest the clue.

The CTC App tells me that I've solved the puzzle, but the solution code doesn't work.
Anyway, it's a nice puzzle.

Ah, I accidently used an ampersand in the Solution Code text, which apparently doesn't show. Fixed now.
