jQuery .serialize() returns empty string

In case anyone else runs into this:

I kept hitting my head, wondering why jQuery's serialize() would return an empty string for my form.

The reason was that I hadn't specified name attributes ( I was only using IDs ) for form elements, as I was dealing with the form via AJAX and hadn't had a reason to need them.

Simple fix, annoying to find

Thanks!
