Having an issue with .serialize() - it's not grabbing the values for
the names of the elements, and it only
does it for those elements that are already on the page when it's
loaded. It's not returning in the serialized string
any of the SELECT elements that get added when someone picks a piece
of literature.
Is it really this hard to get something going? :(
