Ajax Post Not Sending Form Data

I have the following AJAX POST below, for some reason looking at my logging (server side) the request it's sending is is blank {} not JSON data is sent. I have exhausted all possib

Solution 1:

serialize() returns key/value formatted URL encoded data (x-www-form-urlencoded), not JSON. If your server side requires JSON then you need to change your data parameter:

$.ajax({
    ...
    data : JSON.stringify({ input_a : 'value a', input_b : 'value b' }),
    ...
});

See this question for how to convert a form into JSON automatically.
