hey fellow jQuery-ers,
I've noticed this small thing using the serializeArray() on a form.
consider the following html:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form id="frmFoo">
<select id="mySelect">
<option value="0">add</option>
<option value="1">edit</option>
<option value="2">whatever</option>
</select>
</form>
</body>
</html>
it has a simple form with a select tag. nothing fancy here.
I want to serialize the form's input values so I do this in firebug:
>>> $("form#frmFoo").serializeArray()
[]
>>> $("form#frmFoo").serialize()
""
the strange thing here is that won't return anything at all....nada!
it's either an empty string or an empty array.
It will work once I add a a "name" attribute to the select tag:
>>> $("form#frmFoo").serialize()
"mySelect=0"
>>> $("form#frmFoo").serializeArray()
[Object name=mySelect value=0]
are there some html specs I missed on the matter?
