convert a string to javascript object
<p>I have the following string</p>

<pre><code>":All;true:Yes;false:&amp;nbsp"
</code></pre>

<p>I want to convert is to an object like:</p>

<pre><code>var listItems = 
[
{itemValue: "", itemText: "All"},
{itemValue: true, itemText: "Yes"},
{itemValue: false, itemText: "&amp;nbsp"}
];
</code></pre>

<p>Any elegant way to doing this appreciated.</p>
