Hi Senthil,
there's an option hash [1] to Form.serialize () which -- when set to
true -- returns a {}-Object that can be passed as params to
Ajax.Updater. Get that and alter it to suit your needs.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Updater - Sending form.serialize + other variables
Hello,
I have used the hints you've posted before and I can add new keys with
values to my hash (thanks very much for that), but it doesn't
serialize my formelements:
function updateOrder(orderID)
{
var formhash = $('form'+orderID).serialize(true);
formhash.orderID = orderID;
new Ajax.Request('modules/orders/updateorder.php',
{
method: 'post',
parameters: formhash,
...
Firebug tells me that only my orderID is transmitted via post,
is it a problem that the form is created previous by Ajax? (form id
is correct)
thanks for helping,
Ralph

Hello,
I tried the same and adding new key with values worked very good,
thanks.
I've got another problem, my form won't send data. Only orderID is
transmitted via post. (all id-attributtes are set)
function updateOrder(orderID)
{
var formhash = $('form'+orderID).serialize(true);
formhash.orderID = orderID;
new Ajax.Request('modules/orders/updateorder.php',

is it a problem that my form is created asynchronous?

Hi,
Have you inspected formhash in Firefox to make sure that it contains
other fields? That code should work fine. Do your form fields have
names (not just ids)?
Complete working example; the server side (not given) just echoes the
parameters in an HTML fragment:

Hi,
Form#serialize[1] returns a Hash object[2] when you call it with
'true' as the getHash parameter (as you are). So just do that
*before* your Ajax.Updater call, and add your further items to the
Hash, and then pass the Hash into the updater call.

Anyway the error message is still the same:
formhash.set is not a function
I am using prototype 1.6. I also get the error when trying not to do

var formhash = new hash();
I really have no clue what I should try next.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Updater - Sending form.serialize + other variables
Hi,
Whenever you're faced with this sort of thing, your best bet is to use
a debugger and inspect what you're really getting back, perhaps even
using it to walk through the Prototype code to see what's going on,
read through the Prototype code you're using, etc. Doing that can be
a very fast way of figuring out what's going on. Some debugging
resources can be found here:
http://proto-scripty.wikidot.com/resources
In this case, looking at the Prototype code, it looks to me like the
documentation is a bit misleading: It says serialize will return a
hash, and it does in the lower-case general sense of the word. It
doesn't return a Hash object. Sorry about that!
So what you get back is a POJO (plain old JavaScript object), which is
(IMHO) even better, because then you can do this:
var formhash = $('myform').serialize(true);
formhash.key1 = 'value1'; // Or formhash['key1'] = 'value1'; if you
like
formhash.key2 = 'value2';
formhash.key3 = 'value3';
When you're passing the object into the updater, just pass it
directly.
