Hi. I suppose this is actually 2 bugs in 1.
Firstly, Form.serialize only serializes the first input[type="submit"] button. In Form.serializeElements(), the variable submitted is set when the first submit button is serialized, inhibiting the serialization of other submit buttons. Secondly, the pressed button (if one was pressed) should be serialized. Is there anything that can be done about this behaviour? The only way I can think of is to add a property to the form indicating which submit button was clicked and then serialize that button, rather than the first one. Having multiple submit buttons is fine according the HTML 4.01 (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#submit-button) Also ... "A button (and its value) is only included in the form submission if the button itself was used to initiate the form submission." (http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-html5-20090212/forms.html#the-button-element) As a consequence, submitting a form via AJAX doesn't supply the appropriate button. Or that is what is happening to me.
