You can use the replace method of the string object. Here is what W3Schools says about it: JavaScript replace().

In your case you could do something like the following:

str = str.replace(;, );

You can also use a regular expression:

str = str.replace(/;/g, );

This will replace all semicolons globally. If you wish to replace just the first instance you would remove the g from the first parameter.
