/**
- * A function for serializing a set of input elements into
- * a string of data.
+ * Serializes a set of input elements into a string of data.
+ * This will serialize all given elements. If you need
+ * serialization similar to the form submit of a browser,
+ * you should use the form plugin. This is also true for
+ * selects with multiple attribute set, only a single option
+ * is serialized.
*
* @example $("input[@type=text]").serialize();
* @before <input type='text' name='name' value='John'/>
* @after name=John&location=Boston
* @desc Serialize a selection of input elements to a string
*

+ * @test var data = $(':input').not('button').serialize();
+ * // ignore button, IE takes text content as value, not relevant for this test
+ * ok( data == 'action=Test&text2=Test&radio1=on&radio2=on&check=on&=on&hidden=&foo[bar]=&name=name&=foobar&select1=&select2=3&select3=1', 'Check form serialization as query string' );
