First of all, does #params is html? or you just put it there?
maybe if you just put something like

console.log($(form.serialize()));

and see what you're getting. (in chrome hit f12 and go to console, in
firefox use firebug)

params is a hash of all the data you are sending, its handled by rails not
as an html object
