Try something like

var array = $('#field1, #field2, #field3').serializeArray(); $.each(array, function(i,o){ o.value = o.value.replace(/\s/g, ''); }) .... data: array

Thank you! Doesn't \s cover all whitespaces?

Thanks again! Unfortunately I can't vote up your answer yet as it requires 15 reputation.

Additional question: Is it possible to do it all in one line?

not as far as I know... if the inputs are not properly sanitized this is the only safe way I'm seeing

@simplethings another solution you can try is data: $('#field1, #field2, #field3').serialize().replace(/\s/g, '')
