You can also use the .serialize() method to collect your values:
. . .
data : $("#myform").serialize(),
. . .
That works best on text inputs though. If you have select boxes - and
especially if they are multi-select, then you may have better luck with
the .serializeArray() method.

I find I get the best control by creating my own string for the data
property though. On my forms, I often only want a couple of the form
elements to be submitted. (i.e. submit an employee ID, not the employee
name - depending on the purpose of my form of course... )
Hope that helps.
