Hi, The HTML 4 specification recommends that a semicolon be used as the separator for query string parameters because of the issues with encoding '&' in link urls (see http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/appendix/notes.html#h-B.2.2).
In view of this, it would be very nice indeed if there were a global setting in jQuery to parameterize the query separator. I only find two places in jQuery that hard code '&': ajax() param() Of course if this were provided then all plugins that deal with forms could reference that value instead of hard coding '&' as the query separator. Thanks, - Aparajita
