Rails spinoffs - Jun 2007 - Form Serializer: Array Bug?

Hey,

I use arrays in my form, example:

<select multiple="multiple" name="mySelect[]">
<!-- .. several options, you can choose more than one with Ctrl -->
</select>

A browser creates a query string like this on submit:
mySelect[]=firstChoice&mySelect[]=secondChoice

The serverside result:
$_GET[''mySelect''] as an array with 2 elements.

Now I want to use Ajax to work with my Form data, so I use the Form
Serializer in prototype. But prototype creates this kind of query
string:
mySelect[]=firstChoice,secondChoice

Thats not what I want because on serverside I get now
$_GET[''mySelect''] as array with 1 element, it contains
logically:
"firstChoice,secondChoice"

I think this is a bug because the behaviour differs from a normal form
submit and I will get in trouble if a string contains a "," which now
is a separator ...

Who can help me? Have I to write my own serialize script?

Andi

Hey there,

webEater a écrit :
> mySelect[]=firstChoice,secondChoice
Jeez, man, which version do you use?  We stopped serializing like this
ages ago!
