jQuery: serializing array returns empty string
- by John Smith
I did not forget to add name attributes as is a common problem and yet my serialized form is returning an empty string. What am I doing wrong?
HTML/javascript:
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$( document ).ready( function() {
$('#word_form').submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
console.log($(this).serialize()); //returns an empty string
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<form name="word_form" id="word_form" method="POST">
<input type="image" name="thumbsUp" id="thumb1" value="1" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/87/Symbol_thumbs_up.svg" style="width:50px;height:50px;">
<input type="image" name="thumbsDown" id="thumb2" value="2" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/84/Symbol_thumbs_down.svg" style="width:50px;height:50px;">
</form>
</div>
</body>
Thanks!
