Question

im trieing to serialize a complete form. i found the easiest way:

var tmp = $('myForm').toQueryString().parseQueryString();
var req = JSON.decode( tmp );

but it wont work.

i testet only

var tmp = $('myForm').toQueryString()
alert("data " + tmp);

also wont work. it only prints “data ” nothing more..

my form is simple:

<form action="test.php" id="myForm">
<input type="text" name="user">
<input type="text" name="user_name">

<input type="submit" name="user_name_button">
</form>

the javascript code is like:

$('myForm').addEvent( 'submit', function( e ) 
{
  e.stop();
  var tmp = $('myForm').toQueryString()
  alert("data " + tmp);
})

does anybody has an idea why this didn work ?

Answer 1

Found the error. The submit and one text field had the same name.
