For a array , index start with 0 to n ..

<input type="text" name="education[0][title]" placeholder="title"> 
<input type="text" name="education[0][description]" placeholder="description"> 
<input type="text" name="education[1][title]" placeholder="title"> 
<input type="text" name="education[1][description]" placeholder="description">

it convert into

{
 "general":{"url":"http://local/test/one.jpg","description":"Helllo","show_profile":false},
 "education":{
     "0":{"title":"a","description":"b"},
     "1":{"title":"c","description":"d"}
  }
}

it will be great .. if education act like an array

Heya, so I've been using this but realized it isn't serializing checkboxes that are NOT checked. Is there a way to tell it to do this?

This function really should be part of jQuery core.

Thank you so much for this epic plugin...makes my drupal webforms submit seamlessly within a JQuery Dialog without having to use an iframe

That's cool, duck punching can be very useful if done correctly, I recently just duck punched the jQuery Ajax function -

Re: jQuery – making .then a little more useful

danheberden — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 13:41:54 -0000

I made an edit to the top of the article when .always was added to jQuery core - this article was prior to that and was more of a proof of concept on the idea.

.then( fn1 ) will only run on success. .then( fn1, fn1 ) will run on both success and failure, which is the same as .always( fn1 ).

Hope this clears it up for ya

Re: jQuery – making .then a little more useful

G E E K C U B E — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 13:38:15 -0000

enjoy your posts :)
but isn't .then( willGetCalledNoMatterWhat ); kind of the same as .always( function() { /* i get called no matter WHAT *
???not picking (because i'm not mentally armed enough for a debate :-P), but it seems like you're just merely adapting another use of .then (jmho)i ask this because i want to know where this convo left off (4 months ago) - i'd like to implement it if it's stable and a good practice with the changes Rebecca mentions below(?)Thanks, geekbuntu

I think if we could get some agreement on a name it would make a great addition - always, thenDo, ultimately, eventually, please, callThisWhenYoureDone - something :p

Re: jQuery – making .then a little more useful

"Cowboy" Ben Alman — Sat, 02 Apr 2011 22:23:38 -0000

How about calling it .always( fn ) and landing it in jQuery? Would that conflict with any spec proposals?

Re: jQuery – making .then a little more useful

danheberden — Sat, 02 Apr 2011 19:10:28 -0000

I put yours and Rebecca's feedback into the post - it was a naming error, I wanted to return the deferred; thanks for the note :)

Re: jQuery – making .then a little more useful

danheberden — Sat, 02 Apr 2011 18:41:32 -0000

I see what you mean, and thanks for pointing that out. I've followed your suggesting and renamed it .thenDo to facilitate the functionally I'd like to see without messing with .then.

Re: jQuery – making .then a little more useful

Colin S — Sat, 02 Apr 2011 18:24:18 -0000

By fucking with then, you have just broken compatibility with the Promises/A spec. You are also returning the wrong thing; if you want to return the promise then you need to call deferredObj.promise().

Re: jQuery – making .then a little more useful

Rebecca Murphey — Sat, 02 Apr 2011 18:24:15 -0000

If you're inclined to make this change, just please remember that it controverts the spec proposal for Promises/A (http://wiki.commonjs.org/wi... ). While I understand that .then() may not behave as you'd like, changing user expectations is fraught with its own issues. I'd go for a new method name rather than changing the meaning of one that's being embraced across promise implementations.

Great post, Dan. I've also got a little plugin that does something different, but related:

jQuery whenthen: jQuery's "when" and "then" all rolled up together.

danheberden — Sat, 02 Apr 2011 17:22:00 -0000

oy, forgot about chaining the promise - thanks :D ( and included )

"Cowboy" Ben Alman — Sat, 02 Apr 2011 17:20:05 -0000

Dan, you need to return this; inside your .then function.
