Serialize multiple forms together?
When you use the jQuery serialize()
function, it simply turns your form into a string in the format a=1&b=2&c=3
. So you can certainly apply this function to two forms and concatenate the result, with an &
between them, and use the result in your ajax call. You'd want some checks to make sure neither string is empty when you do the concatenation.
If you run $('form').serialize()
on a page with multiple forms, it will correctly serialize all the forms into one string.
To include only certain forms, use $('#form1, #form2').serialize()
