Serialize is a great method to automatically prepare a form, but it doesn't include the element that initiated the submit in the case where I attach a click event to a <div> and call submit from the click event.
Is there a typical pattern to adding the submit element to the serialized string so the server can know which element initiated? Does it matter what format it's in? ("submitter=elementId")? *bonus question* This is academic but I'm trying to learn: why does ajax put data in a querystring instead of using a form like normal html submit would do? best regards, ltg
