I've been working with serializing forms and submitting over AJAX with
POST.

I use the following code to do so:
$.fn.serializeObject = function(){
var o = {};
var a = this.serializeArray();
$.each(a, function() {
if (o[this.name] !== undefined) {
if (!o[this.name].push) {
o[this.name] = [o[this.name]];
}
o[this.name].push(this.value || '');
} else {
o[this.name] = this.value || '';
}
});
return o;
};


Example: Form has 20 checkboxes all with the same name "product_id"

When the data is serialized via AJAX and POSTed, with only 1 checkbox you
can access the parameter with 'product_id'

BUT

When multiple checkboxes are checked you have to access the parameters
with 'product_id[]'

Sure, it's possible to do stuff like:

local(products = web_request->param('product_id',false)
|| web_request->param('product_id[]',false)
|| staticarray )

That works fine but there are occasions where it can be bulky.

I thought about adding a method to web_request like ->ajaxparam('product')
that could do this same logic internally but figured someone may have a
better way of doing it and hey, why reinvent the wheel.

What do YOU do?



Thanks

Steffan
