jquery serialize and $.post

Question

I\'m trying to send a lot of data from a form using the $.post method in jQuery. I\'ve used the serialize() function first to make all the form data into one long string whi

Answer 1

Try this syntax. I use this to serialize a form and POST via ajax call to WCF service. Also, you can send this back a single JSON object instead of building the object the way you are. Try this:

var serializedForm = serializedForm = $("#addShowForm").serializeArray();

$.post("includes/add_show.php", 
    {
        "myObjectName": ("#showTitle").val(), results: perfTimes 
    }, function(data) 
        {
            $("#addShowSuccess").empty()
            .slideDown("slow")
            .append(JSON.stringify(serializedForm)); 
        });
