IE8 support about jquery-serialize-object HOT 3 CLOSED

@kkarkos

I haven't specifically tested in IE8 before, but I recall some other people mentioning they've used it. Before I take this further, let's try one more thing.

Re:

$("#form").serializeJSON();

This only returns the JSON representation of your form. Unless you assign it to a variable, alert it, or make a GET/POST request with the result, you're not going to see much.

To help illustrate this a little better, consider this:

1 + 1;

It's a valid JavaScript expression, it evaluates to 2, but nothing happens; nothing is assigned, nothing is output. From a certain perspective, it's as if nothing happened.

Instead if we do this

var result = 1 + 1;
console.log(result);

Now we can see what's going on, and we also have the result stored in a variable that we can use later.

As for this plugin, try something like this:

var f = $("form");

f.submit(function(event) {
  alert(f.serializeJSON());
  event.preventDefault();
});

If you're still having trouble, please paste a complete block of code for me to review. I'll be happy to diagnose the issue further with a little more to work off of.
