    <p>I'm currently submitting a form via ajax and pass in a manually created data variable that looks a bit like this:</p> <pre><code>var data = 'answer1=' + $("input[name=question_1]:checked").val() + '&amp;q1_option=' + $("input[name=question_1]:checked").attr("id") </code></pre> <p>This continues throughout the list of form elements obviously increasing incrementally question_2, question_3 etc. The problem is that this is a bit messy. I'd like to use jQuery serializeArray but, to do this I would need to pass in an extra parameter. I need to pass the input value and the input id as this id is used in the data.</p> <p>Is there a way I can achieve this using jQuery serializeArray()?</p> <p>Example form markup:</p> <pre><code>&lt;label&gt;What is your gender?&lt;span class="required"&gt; *&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input id="1" type="radio" name="question_1" value="Male"&gt;&lt;label class="standard" for="1"&gt;Male&lt;/label&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;input id="2" type="radio" name="question_1" value="Female"&gt;&lt;label class="standard" for="2"&gt;Female&lt;/label&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;label&gt;How old are you?&lt;span class="required"&gt; *&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input id="3" type="radio" name="question_2" value="Under 25"&gt;&lt;label class="standard" for="3"&gt;Under 25&lt;/label&lt;br&gt; &lt;input id="4" type="radio" name="question_2" value="25-29"&gt;&lt;label class="standard" for="4"&gt;25-29&lt;/label&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;input id="5" type="radio" name="question_2" value="30-39"&gt;&lt;label class="standard" for="5"&gt;30-39&lt;/label&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;input id="6" type="radio" name="question_2" value="40-49"&gt;&lt;label class="standard" for="6"&gt;40-49&lt;/label&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;input id="7" type="radio" name="question_2" value="50-59"&gt;&lt;label class="standard" for="7"&gt;50-59&lt;/label&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;input id="8" type="radio" name="question_2" value="60+"&gt;&lt;label class="standard" for="8"&gt;60+&lt;/label&gt;&lt;br&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COCan you post some example markup of the form?

    2. COWhy can't you just call `.serialize()` on the `<form>` element itself? That builds the query string for you from all the enabled inputs (and selects and textareas) in the `<form>`.

    3. COAlso it's kind-of weird to use the "id" of an `<option>` as the submitted value; that's what the "value" attribute is for.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
