How do I access values created by serializeArray in JQuery?

Question

I have this HTML:

And I create an object array from it lik

Answer 1

Run console.log(dataArray);, then open up the property inspector, and check the console. In Chrome, you'd right click and select "Inspect Element" and then click the ">=" looking icon in the bottom left, it's the second from the left.

In Firefox you'd install firebug and there's a tab called "Console"

Not sure if it's available in IE, probably something in the developer tools (press f12) but i wouldn't recommend developing in IE.

Anyway this will list out the object in a way that allows you to navigate and see the values of each item. That way you can then use this to decipher how to access the values :)

Good luck

With uderscore.js, this is how we can go about it:

var serializedArray = $('form#spiderman-application').serializeArray();

var serializedObject = _.object(
  _.pluck(serializedArray, 'name'), 
  _.pluck(serializedArray, 'value')
)

console.log(serializedObject);

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/underscore.js/1.9.1/underscore-min.js"></script>

<form id="spiderman-application">
  <legend>Application Form</legend>
  <input name="./fname" value="Peter" />
  <input name="./lname" value="Parker" />
</form>

Good Luck...
