Hello


 beforeSubmit: function(arr) {
var json = // ... build json string
arr.length = 0; // throw away current array contents (if you want)
arr[0] = { name: 'someName', value: json };
 }


thats it :-) Thanks...

 Does jQuery provides a way to convert to JSON string?

 Felix Halim

There are plugins that provide that functionality.  This is a great
option as well:

http://www.json.org/json2.js

Stefan,

Any particular reason why you'd want to do this??

Usually its the opposite... posting form fields normally (usually
easier to interpret by the server-side script) and then returning a
JSON object to jQuery, in which case you can use $.getJSON()

 Hello,

 improvment:
 At this time all form fields are send using post, but it wold be nice,
 to send all form fields json encoded as one post parameter.

 Is there a way to do this?

Hello,

thanks for your answer.
I made it the way you say. I build my json string in the beforeSubmit
function. So, now I have a correct json string, but how can I replace
the post array?
Sorry, but I hang at this point.

Thanks agin for your Help,

 It's not supported by the plugin, but you can hook the beforeSubmit
 event and change what is posted to the server.  beforeSubmit is passed
 an array of objects with name and value properties.  You could iterate
 over these, build your json string, and then replace the array
 contents with a single object that has name and value properties,
 where the value prop is the json string.
