IE8 ajaxForm issue. Incorrectly collect form data

[monco83]

I'm using ajaxForm and has no data in request.
I got around the problem code modifying:

in _formToArray function replaced

if ( els ) {
        els = $(els).get();  // convert to standard array
    }

by new code:

if (els && !/MSIE 8/.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
        els = $(els).get();  // convert to standard array
    }

I ran into the same issue with IE8 and this fixed it. Thanks @monco83

hello,
Exactly same problem for me, and same solution.
Thanks too.
Can official repository be update ?
PS. I'm french, sorry for my approximative english

This problem seems to be happening with other methods such as formSerialize. Maybe they're all using formToArray method inside which is the method that caused me problems in this version.

Fixed. Sorry for the delay.

@malsup I get same problem in IE7

@malsup Please include the "IE 678" solution of webgal to codebase.

The current version with "IE 8 only" check breaks e.g. current release of "Contact Form 7" plugin for WordPress with IE7.

The fix works,
But here is a small tip for the people struggling with this.
I downloaded this code a month or so ago, and in the minified version wasn't updated yet.

So if in doubt, try the non minified code if you want to save yourself some time.

actually, ie9 has a “Compatibility Mode”， which button after the browser address . when turn it on , ajaxform also can not post any filed prarm. may be the code need add the check of ie9 。

In IE8, I'm having the opposite problem. I need this conversion to happen. If I comment out the regex part of the conditional the code works. Otherwise, it errors and asks me to debug.

Edit: els is of type DispHTMLFormElement

Because of this wontfix jquery bug, I get the following in IE8:

>> form.elements.length
76
>> els2.length
2
>> form.elements.concat(els2)
"Object doesn't support this property or method" // does nobody else see this?
>> $(form.elements).get().concat(els2)
{...}                                  // looks good…
>> $(form.elements).get().concat(els2).length
3                                      // huh?
>> $(form.elements).get().length
1                                      // oh - I guess this is why this ticket was opened
>> $.makeArray(form.elements).concat(els2)
{...}
>> $.makeArray(form.elements).concat(els2).length
78                                     // this has the desired effect
