jQuery: changing element value after serialized

Question

If i have my form elements with values in variable data (contains: var data = $(this).serializeArray();)

How can i do change the value of an form element (called recipient), when it's inside data?

So my element with name=recipient have value "mama", how can I change it to "papa" on ajax success

Answer 1

You can iterate through your objects in the array, change the object's value:

for (var item in data)
{
  if (data[item].name == 'recipient') {
    data[item].value = 'papa';
  }
}

Answer 2

$.each(data, function(key, data)
{
    if (this.name == "recipient") 
        this.value="papa";
});
