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,
