[jQuery] Re: jQuery 1.2 - Serialize a form as JSON

[Wizzud]

Name a browser that will take the submission of...
  form method='get' action='prog.php'
input type='text' name='foo' /
input type='text' name='foo' /
  /form
... and transmit it as : prog.php?foo[]=bar1foo[]=bar2

(and I suggest you test it first)

 Ok, Problem #1 is solved, but #2 isn't.
 
 Now I've seen this in the jQuery Ajax-Docs [1]:
 
 If value is an Array, jQuery serializes multiple values with same key
 i.e. {foo:[bar1, bar2]} becomes 'foo=bar1foo=bar2'.
 
 WTF?
 
 Why not like every browser does it?
 
 'foo[]=bar1foo[]=bar2'

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=blackBlack/option
option value=blue selectedBlue/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?

 Hello,

 I'm trying to serialize a form with select-fields defined as multiple,
 e.g.:
 ~
 select multiple=multiple name=test[]
 option value=one selected=selectedOne/option
 option value=twoTwo/option
 option value=three selected=selectedThree/option
 /select
 ~

 When I now try this:

 ~
 $(select).serialize();
 ~

 or this:

 ~
 $(select).serializeArray();
 ~

 I get an empty string resp. array.

 But I should get this:

 ~
 test[]=onetest[]=three
 ~

 resp. this:

 ~
 {
   test: [one, two]}

 ~

 Whats wrong with my code?

 PS: I'm currently using Prototype with PHP in the backend, there it
 just works fine.
