jquery serialise

Question

In my form I have a text field that has data such as >2012-01-01 <2012-02-01 but when I serialize the form and post the data the field only has the >2012-01-01 and not the <2012-02-01.

Where did it go?

$("#grouppositionsform").live("submit",function(e){ e.preventDefault(); $('body').addClass('wait'); $.post("/page.php",$(this).serialize(), function(data){ $('.showdirectory').fadeOut('slow', function() { $(".showdirectory").html(data); $(".showdirectory").fadeIn("slow"); }); }).error(function() { //alert("error"); }).complete(function() { //alert("complete"); $('body').removeClass('wait'); }); });

pls show both html and jquery

I've added the code that posts the form.

The answer is that joomla took that character and said no to it and didn't parse it. So the jquery was fine and was posting the data but joomla has a function that makes sure returned data is safe.

So when I checked $_POST["searchstring"]; all the data was there.

When I use JRequest::getVar("searchstring",-1); it protects me and removes the <.

As it happens Joomla explain this here: http://docs.joomla.org/Secure_coding_guidelines and I changed getVar to allow the data through.

So this worked for me. $sstr = JRequest::getVar("searchstring",'-1','REQUEST','STRING',JREQUEST_ALLOWRAW);
