Handle Special Characters

Through javascript i am forming a dynamic sql based on some selection criteria entered by the user. If i am trying to have an alias with '&', then on executing this through an ADODB object , the statement fails and i get an error as "from keyword not found"

For ex: If i have a SQL as
select emp_name as "Emp&Mgr" from emp;
on executing this i get the above mentioned error.

But SQL's with other special characters do work.
For ex: select emp_name as "Emp,Mgr" from emp;
select emp_name as "Emp/Mgr" from emp;
select emp_name as "Emp*Mgr" from emp;

How do i solve this problem.
