Rails spinoffs - Apr 2007 - Form.serialize(this) returning empty string in onSubmit, Ajax.Update context, works in Firebug watch

This page is ripped from a real application, but its been simplified
for debugging, turning off authentication and hiding Secret Sauce®.


So if you try

Form.serialize(''bio_form'')

in Firebug you''ll get a url-encoded string back.

The parameters to the  Ajax.Updater() call a wrapper around
Form.serialize which should present an alert with the url-encoded
string. It comes up empty. Furthermore, if you use the watch window in
the context of the Updater constructor,
Form.serialize(''bio_form'') --
that is with the string parameter that worked in watch before --
returns an empty string?


Any thoughts as to why this is occurring?
