[jQuery] Ajax request does not insert data after semi-colon...for CGI script,

[SH]

Hi there,

I m using latest jQuery 1.2.6 and when I try to use ";" in my input
and  it does not read values/text after semi-colon.
e.g. I enter abcd;xyz in to input box and I do following:

var  VER = $.trim($("#boxing1").val());

alert(VER);
alert shows correct value

and when i send it through:
                          $.ajax({
                            type: "POST",
                            url: "/cgi-bin/test.cgi",
                                data: "validu="+VER,
                                 cache: false,
                                 timeout:10000,
....

it gives me abcd thats all.

Looks like ajax is sending out semi colon less ur or something ...

Let me now if I confused anyone...!!
