Adding the value attribute should solve the problem but if it doesn't
you might want to try using the form plugin. It provides a very robust
serialize method called formSerialize.

I'm using jQuery 1.1.2.
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
