Hi Eric,

If you look at the xforms:submission element, there is a @seperator that 
you can use to specify the seperator that you want to use when 
urlencoding.  The default is ';' per spec, but you can make it '&' if 
you want.

For your second problem, are you using a nightly or the preview release? 
  if you are using a nightly, get the latest and look in the JS Console 
for any errors.  Let me know if you see any or not.

Thanks,
