jQuery serialization of divs [SOLVED]

Code: Select all
<div class="cont">
<div class="sortableitem" id="friendslist_97333"> ... </div>
<div class="sortableitem" id="friendslist_100507"> ... </div>
<div class="sortableitem" id="friendslist_96977"> ... </div>
</div>
This is using the sortable javascript, so the inner divs may be in any order. I need to serialize them so I can pass them to a php script.
I've tried....
Code: Select all
$('div.cont').serialize();
/* and */
$('div.cont').serializeArray();
Both of them come up blank. I need it so I can get a string like &friendslist[]=97333&friendslist[]=100507... etc.

OK. I suppose I can't serialize div elements. Only form elements. =/

Okay, I finally got it working.
Wowza.
I suggest for your first project using jquery or ajax or advanced javascript to NOT do draggable/droppable sortable elements using ajax to save a serialized array to a database.

That is one of the tougher ones to implement - I remember being a tad confused myself at first. How very un-jQuery-like!
Glad you got it working though!
