The .serializeArray()

1
2
3

5
6
7
8

10
11

The .serializeArray()
method uses the standard W3C rules for successful controls to determine which elements it should include; in particular the element cannot be disabled and must contain a name
attribute. No submit button value is serialized since the form was not submitted using a button. Data from file select elements is not serialized.
This method can act on a jQuery object that has selected individual form elements, such as <input>
, <textarea>
, and <select>
. However, it is typically easier to select the <form>
tag itself for serialization:

2

This produces the following data structure (provided that the browser supports console.log
):
