Question

I am trying to send a serialized data through query string/variable in a url. As you know when we do a serialize in js it builds a query string itself. I am sending this data to server side which is written in django. How can i do this or how can i collect the data in the django code.

This is what i am doing.

selected = $('input:checkbox:checked').serialize();

This gives me the result as multiselect_select_month=10&multiselect_select_month=11&multiselect_select_month=05

I want to send this in a url with other variables, and collect the hole string (multiselect_select_month=10&multiselect_select_month=11&) in a single variable.
Something like

serialized = 'multiselect_select_month=10&multiselect_select_month=11'

At the server side i am writing serialized = request.GET.get('serialized', '')

How can i send that serialized string(which is a query string) in a single variable so that i can catch that at the server side.

NB: I want to send other variables also with the above serialized data.

You need to URL-Encode serialized, then you can send it in a single variable.

serialized = encodeURIComponent(serialized);
var link = "http://host.com/?data=" + serialized;
