I might be barking up the wrong tree, but I would suggest assigning a specific value to each of the option elements and give it another try.

I'm using this code to serialize form data before an Ajax submit. var params = $('input,select,textarea').serialize(); The form has multiple select menus. On IE 6 and IE 7 the value from one select is always blank when serialized regardless of the selected option. This is causing the form to not validate server side. The HTML for the <select> is <select name="f_state_menu"> <option value="">Select One...</option> <option>OUT-SPARE</option> <option>OUT-REPAIR</option> <option>OUT-CALIBRATION</option> <option>OUT-DECOMMISSIONED</option> <option>OUT-OTHER</option> <option>SHIPPED-REPAIR</option> <option>SHIPPED-CALIBRATION</option> <option>SHIPPED-BETWEEN SITES</option> </select> Firefox and Opera work fine. Safari, Firefox and Camino when tested on a Mac work fine too. Any ideas? Thanks, Brad
