how to determine field type with serialize in jquery

I want to send a serialized form through ajax, but I need to know which field is select, and which is text input, but not sure how I can work that.



$('#contact_filter_btn').click(function()
form = $('#contact_filter').serialize();
$.ajax(
type : 'POST',
url : '//'+base_url+'/ajax/contact-filter.php',
data : form,
success : function(data)
$('#customers_table').html(data);

);
);


Any ideas on how you can determine if the field was text or select? I dont mind making alterations to the html if that will help somehow

  • you can get all elements with $('select') and $('input') and use $.each for get data from those elements. then create JSON with those arrays and send it to URL

  • You can just add the type to every input name, like : <select name="example1_select">, <input name="example2_text">,... and then in your back-end split each name by _ to retrieve the real name and the type of it.

I thought the easiest solution was just to change the names of the form fields. So I changes the names to $type.'_'.$name



This then allowed me to know what type it was, and I just strpos/substr them in php, to extra the type and remove that part from name?
