Description (last modified by )
Short example code with two checkboxes, the second one checked:
<html> <head>
<script language="javascript" src="jquery/jquery.js"></script> <title>JS - Test</title> <script language="Javascript"> $(function() {
$('#submit').click(function(){
console.log($("input").serialize());
});
}) $("input[@type=text]").serialize(); </script>
</head> <body> <input type="checkbox" name="chk_1"><br /> <input type="checkbox" name="chk_2" checked><br /> <button id="submit" type="button">Show me!</button> </body> </html>
Firebug console shows "chk_1=on&chk_2=on", what can't be true.

This is a result of the core serialize method not comprehending "successful" controls.

According to the roadmap, jQuery 1.2 will use new form/field serialization methods imported from Form plugin. Most related bugs will be fixed by the time.

Fixed in jQuery 1.2.
Well the problem may be more with Firefox as the default value of a checkbox in firefox is "on"
Note that the value of the checkbox and the checked state are different.
This behavior does not happen in safari. In safari you would get this: chk_1=&chk_2=
I usually do something like this before serializing:
$("input[@type='checkbox']").each(function() { this.value = this.checked?'on':'off'; });
