Regex to replace all '&' which are in " " in a string....in javascript

Question

I have url in which the parameters contain '&' characters ..now i have to do an ajax call but the server sends exception on that..so the solution is to replace the '&' of parameters by %26 and then make the call...

e.g...

url = http://localhost.com/?q=java&industry="IT&web"&location="New-york & Florida"

The result must be...

= http://localhost.com/?q=java&industry="IT%26web"&location="New-york %26 Florida"
