In testing Chistoph's code, I encountered a separate but possibly
related issue: serialize() and serializeArray() are returning things
I did not expect for multiple selects. For the following form:
<form id="mydForm">
<select id="myd" name="myd" multiple>
<option value="black">Black</option>
<option value="blue" selected>Blue</option>
</select>
</form>
Calling $('form#mydForm').serialize() returns:
"myd=0"
Am I doing something wrong as well (besides my old-timey no-value
"multiple" and "selected" attributes--though proper XHMTL gives the
same result), or should this be posted to -dev as a bug?
