need to embed a semicolon in my url string in a menu...

Info: here's what I want to have in my menu_data.js:

aI("text=EEO Sub Codes;status=http://hrprod.rar.ncsus.jnj.com/cgi-lawson/dme?PROD=prod&FILE=JJEEOSUB&OUT=REPORT&FIELD=eeo_sub_code;eeo_subcat_txt&max=300;url=http://hrprod.rar.ncsus.jnj.com/cgi-lawson/dme?PROD=prod&FILE=JJEEOSUB&OUT=REPORT&FIELD=eeo_sub_code;eeo_subcat_txt&max=300;target=desktop;");

The problem is that Milonic interprets the ; as a delimiter and my url is truncated, what can I do?

See this part of the URL: &OUT=REPORT&FIELD=eeo_sub_code;eeo_subcat_txt

Not my area of knowledge, but I do remember other questions about a semi-colon or other marks. Here are two posts you can check. They talk about escaping it, or not being able to escape it and what to do in that case.

Try a search just using semi-colon as the search term, there may be more.
