serialize() just can serialize the <form> area but not other div area

[pdodge]

jquery version 1.3 no longer supported the <input> elements contained in a <div> area that want to serialize, as follow:

<div id="formdiv">

<input name="username" id="username" value="myname" />

</div>

running javascript:

$("#formdiv").serialize();

this would take effect in V1.2, but does support in 1.3.2 now.

I don't think that has ever been documented as supported. You should provide either a form element or a collection of input elements.

​http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax/serialize

In this case you can use $("formdiv input") to get the elements.

Try the proposed solution; if it doesn't work, reopen the ticket.
